The correct answer is Option (3) - Manipuri
- Manipuri is an ancient classical dance form that originated in the northeastern state of Manipur in India.
- Jagoi and cholom are the two main divisions in Manipur's dance, the one gentle and the other vigorous, corresponding to the lasya and tandava elements described in Sanskrit literature.
- There are essentially two divisions in the classical Manipuri dance:
- Jagoi
- Predominant in Ras Leela, this part represents the Lasya element described in Bharata's Natya Shastra. Here, the legs are generally bent and the knees are kept together. The foot movements are not as loud and pronounced as in the other classical dances of India.
- Cholom
- This represents the Tandava form of classical dance
