Which one of the following classical dance in its present form has influence of Mughal tradition ?
Answer: C
The classical dance shaped by Mughal tradition is Kathak.
Kathak grew from the storytellers (kathakars) of north Indian temples, and under Mughal and later Nawabi patronage it moved into the courts. There it acquired its Persian-influenced costume, its emphasis on rhythmic footwork and fast spins, and the elegant courtly style of the Lucknow and Jaipur gharanas.
Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu), Kathakali and Mohiniattam (Kerala) developed in the south, far from Mughal rule, and kept their temple and regional traditions.
