In Kathak, which of the following is used to mark the rhythm?
Tabla and Pakhawaj
Kathak, the classical dance of North India, is known for its intricate footwork (tatkar) and spins. The rhythm cycle (taal) is kept by the tabla and the pakhawaj, the percussion instruments of Hindustani music, with which the dancer's footwork interacts.
The mridangam is the percussion instrument of Carnatic music and accompanies South Indian forms such as Bharatanatyam. The violin and flute are melodic instruments, not used to mark rhythm.
Hence, the answer is Tabla and Pakhawaj.
