Fill in the Blank: Tamasha is a folk theatre form mainly found in ______.
Maharashtra
Tamasha is a traditional folk theatre form of Maharashtra, performed in Marathi. It combines dance, music (tabla, dholki, harmonium) and dialogue, often featuring satirical and humorous content.
It has two main forms: Sangeet Bari (focused on song and dance, especially the lavani) and Dholki Bhaari (focused on storytelling and dramatic performance). Kerala is known for Kathakali and Koodiyattam; Karnataka for Yakshagana; Odisha for Pala and Daskathia — not Tamasha.
Hence the correct answer is Maharashtra — option (3).
