Question 70

Which form of Indian dance shows influence of Persian culture?

Solution

Share

Kathak originated in North India and evolved significantly under Mughal patronage. Persian influence is evident in:

  • its costumes (angarkha, churidar),
  • Urdu-Persian terminology,
  • refined abhinaya & gestures,
  • and courtly performance style.

Thus, unlike Bhangra or Chhau, which are folk, Kathak reflects strong Indo-Persian syncretism and Mughal court culture, making it the correct answer.
