Answer
1 and 3 only
Why?
The correct answer is option 3. Key Points Tradition/Theatre and State Ankia Naat The acts of Lord Krishna were written in the language of Brajavali . Ankia Naat is performed by the artists in one act, it is called Bhaona which is written in a language that is a mixture of Assamese-Mythili and mainly focuses on the acts of Lord Krishna. It is performed in Assam . Hence, 1st pair is correct. Singers, instruments, dance, and costumes are the main features of this dance. The dancers wear a variety of designed costumes. Ramlila The Ramlila festivities were declared by UNESCO as one of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" in 2008. Ramlila is particularly notable in historically important Hindu cities of Ayodhya, Varanasi, Vrindavan, Almora, Satna and Madhubani – cities in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Hence, 2nd pair is not correct. Ramman Every year in late April, the twin villages of Saloor-Dungra in the state of Uttarakhand (northern India) are marked by Ramman, a religious festival in honour of the tutelary god, Bhumiyal Devta, a local divinity whose temple houses most of the festivities. This event is made up of highly complex rituals: the recitation of a version of the epic of Rama and various legends, and the performance of songs and masked dances. Ramman also features in UNESCO'S List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in India. Hence, 3rd pair is correct.
