The correct answer is

Madhya Pradesh

The question asks in which state the folk dance 'Badhai' is famously performed.

Badhai is a lively folk dance associated with the Bundelkhand region, performed on joyous and auspicious occasions such as births, weddings and festivals.

It is famous in Madhya Pradesh (particularly its Bundelkhand districts), where it is danced to the beat of drums like the dholak and mridang along with other folk instruments.

The name 'Badhai' itself means congratulations or felicitation, and the dance expresses celebration and good wishes through energetic, rhythmic movements.

It is often performed in honour of the goddess and forms part of the community's festive tradition.

Assam is known for Bihu, Andhra Pradesh for Kuchipudi, and Gujarat for Garba and Dandiya, none of which is the Badhai dance.

Hence the Badhai dance is famously performed in Madhya Pradesh.
