Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Ishwari Prasad.
Ishwari Prasad is credited with founding the Lucknow Gharana of Kathak.
The Lucknow Gharana is one of the major schools of the Kathak dance form, known for its emphasis on expressiveness, graceful movements, and intricate footwork.
Kathak is a North Indian classical dance form that tells stories through dance, integrating elements of drama, music, and rhythm.
The term "Kathak" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Katha," meaning "story," and "Kathakar," meaning "storyteller."
The Lucknow Gharana developed under the patronage of the Nawabs of Awadh, particularly Wajid Ali Shah, who was a great supporter of the arts.
