Correct Answer: Bharatanatyam


Solution : The correct answer is Bharatanatyam.

Rukmini Devi Arundale was a theosophist, Bharatanatyam dancer and choreographer renowned for revitalising the dance form. Breaking from the traditional "sadhir" style of temple dancers, she led Bharatanatyam's revival. Additionally, she championed the re-establishment of traditional Indian arts and crafts. Notably, Rukmini Devi made history as the first woman appointed to the Rajya Sabha, India's upper house of Parliament.
