Question

Which of the following is not associated with 'Gat'?

A.

Tabla

B.

Sitar

C.

Kathak

D.

Kathakali

Correct option is D


Correct Option: d)
In Indian classical music and dance, a Gat is a fixed, pre-composed melodic piece or a sequence of rhythmic footwork and poses.
Information Booster:
· The term Gat is fundamentally associated with Hindustani classical instrumental music (e.g., Sitar, Sarod) and the Kathak dance form, where it is a core compositional type.
· Tabla provides the rhythmic accompaniment (the theka) for a musical Gat.
· Kathakali, the classical dance-drama from Kerala, has a vastly different structure and terminology.
· Its performances are based on acting out stories through a codified language of gestures and facial expressions, and it does not use the Hindustani compositional format of a Gat.
Additional Knowledge:
· Sitar is the primary instrument for playing Gat-Toda compositions.
· Kathak has Gat Nikas, Gat Bhav, and Gat Tukdas as essential items in its repertoire.
· Tabla is the accompanying percussion for both.
