Quintessence Classes · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is I and III. ExplanationStatement I is correct: Rouf (also spelled Rauf) is one of the most celebrated traditional folk dances of Jammu and Kashmir. It is practiced during the harvesting season, spring festivals, and celebratory occasions like Eid, with dancers singing rhythmic folk verses in the local Kashmiri dialect.Statement II is incorrect: Rouf is strictly a group dance, never a solo performance. Women form two long, parallel rows facing each other, link their arms around each other's shoulders or waists, and perform synchronized, rhythmic forward-and-backward swaying steps.Statement III is correct: The dancers wear gorgeous, traditional Kashmiri clothing, predominantly featuring the Pheran (long, embroidered woolen or cotton gowns), and accessorize with intricate silver jewelry and traditional headgear (Taranga or Kasaba).Since Statements I and III are accurate, but Statement II is incorrect, Option C is the correct response.
