In which district of Uttar Pradesh is 'Shora Dance' a tribal dance form?
Verified Answer
A. Gorakhpur
B. Lalitpur
C. Prayagraj
D. Varanasi
Explanation:
The 'Shora Dance' is a traditional tribal dance form primarily associated with the Sahariya tribe, which predominantly inhabits the Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh. This dance is performed during festivals and special occasions, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Sahariya community in that region. Option (1) Gorakhpur, (3) Prayagraj, and (4) Varanasi are significant districts in Uttar Pradesh but are not primarily known for the 'Shora Dance' or the Sahariya tribal presence in the same way as Lalitpur. Hence, Lalitpur is the correct district.
