Discussion
Traditional classical music genre "Sopana Sangeetham" is considered to be originated from which of the following states of India?
Answer: C
Sopana Sangeetham originated in Kerala. It is devotional temple music sung beside the steps (sopanam) of the sanctum, linked with Kerala temples and traditionally accompanying Kathakali and Kutiyattam performances.
Karnataka, Odisha and Telangana have their own traditions, such as Carnatic, Odissi and folk music, but Sopana Sangeetham is not theirs.
Sopana literally means the steps at the entrance of a sanctum, and the singing is done there as part of temple ritual, with the idakka drum as a common accompaniment.
