Attempted by 5 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: Rajasthani folk dances are documented by the specific community that traditionally performs them as a devotional or ritual practice, so identifying a dance means identifying its originating community, not just its region.
Application: Terah Tali ("thirteen cymbals") is performed by women of the Kamad community of Rajasthan, devotees of the folk deity Baba Ramdev. Seated on the ground, dancers tie thirteen manjeera cymbals to different parts of the body and strike them rhythmically, sometimes balancing pots or swords on the head. RSSB's official Patwar 2025 Shift-2 answer key (Question 5, Booklet DQ69) records Kamad Caste as the correct association.
Cross-check: The other listed communities have their own well-documented dance forms, none of which is Terah Tali:
Garasiya Tribe is known for the Valar dance.
Bheel Tribe is known for the Gair dance.
Gurjars are known for the Chari dance.
This exclusive match confirms Kamad Caste as the community associated with Terah Tali dance.
