Correct option is B
Correct Option: b)
Indian folk music is rich with regional diversity, where specific percussion instruments have become cultural symbols of particular states or communities.
Information Booster:
· Dhol (A) is a large, barrel-shaped drum famously used in the folk music and celebrations of Gujarat (IV), as well as in Punjab and other regions.
· Dholki (B) is a smaller, two-headed drum, widely used in Maharashtra (III) for folk songs like Lavani, as well as in other states for various folk and devotional music.
· Hudka (C) is a small, hourglass-shaped folk drum, primarily associated with the music of the Kumaon region in Uttarakhand (II).
· Khol (D) is a distinctive clay or wooden drum with a pronounced bass head, integral to the devotional music of Vaishnavism, especially in Bengal (I), where it accompanies Kirtan.
Additional Knowledge:
· The incorrect options arise from a mismatch of these distinct regional associations.
· For example, matching the Khol with Uttarakhand or the Hudka with Bengal would be inaccurate, as these instruments are not the primary folk drums of those regions.
