    (COMPREHENSION)
    1. Read the following passage carefully: (15)
    Dance is a way of life in Manipur, the land of jewels (Mani-Jewels, Pur-land). The state is
    situated among the hills of North- Eastern India. It is believed that long ago, celestial beings
    or Gandharvas lived in this state. Perhaps the Manipurians inherited their love for dance from
    their celestial ancestors. The dances of Manipur are beautiful and graceful.
    Though this dance form is very old, it was made popular in the rest of the
    country by the poet, Rabindranath Tagore in the early decades of the 20th century. All forms
    of the Manipuri dance, whether folk, classical or modern, are devotional in nature. One of the
    most popular types of the Manipuri dance is the Rasa which depicts the love between Lord
    Krishna and Radha. The dances are usually accompanied by melodious singing. The most
    common instruments used are the Khob and the Pena- a stringed instrument. There is a wide
    variation in the rhythms, tempos and sound sequence. From the religious point of view and
    from the artistic angle of vision, Manipuri classical form of dance is claimed not only to be
    one of the most modest, softest and mildest but the most meaningful dances of the world.
    Manipuri dancers do not wear ankle bells to emphasize the beats tapped out by the
    feet, like other Indian dance forms, and the dancers' feet never strike the ground hard.
    Movements of the body and feet and facial expressions in Manipuri dance are subtle and aim
    at devotion and grace.
