Correct option is C

Correct Option: c)
The Naubat (or Naqqara) refers to a set of large, hemispherical kettledrums traditionally played in royal courts, temples, and during ceremonial processions in North India. It is a majestic Avanaddha Vadya (membranophone) known for its powerful, regal sound.
Information Booster:
· The Naubat is most iconically and inseparably accompanied by the Shehnai, a double-reed wind instrument.
· Together, they form the classic Shehnai-Naubat ensemble, which is the quintessential sound of North Indian royal and ceremonial events, particularly weddings.
· This partnership is deeply rooted in tradition, with the Shehnai's melodic lines played over the rhythmic and harmonic drone of the Naubat.
Additional Knowledge:
· Karna and Tikaur are ancient types of straight trumpets, not standard partners for the Naubat in the primary ceremonial ensemble.
· Tuntuna is a simple, single-string folk instrument used for drone, and does not match the scale or function of the Naubat ensemble.
