Sunanda Nayar

Gopinath

Raja Reddy

Correct Answer:

Gopinath

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Gopinath

  • Guru Gopinath broadened the boundaries of tradition while maintaining the traditional discipline that kept him in check.
  • He played a significant role in bringing Kerala's renowned dance theatre, Kathakali, out of obscurity and into the public eye.
  • Like Uday Shankar, he is regarded as one of the legendary figures of Indian dance in the 20th century.
  • He developed a modern dance form that was classical in form but had a broad appeal, by which Kathakali's renown quickly expanded throughout the world from the start of the 1930s.
