This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Karakattam

The correct answer is Karakattam.

Karakattam is a traditional folk dance of Tamil Nadu performed in praise of the rain goddess Mariamman (Mari Amman).

Dancers balance a decorated pot (karagam), often topped with a cone of flowers, on their heads while performing intricate movements without letting it fall.

It is usually performed to the accompaniment of traditional instruments and is closely linked to prayers for rain and good harvest.

Villu Pattu is a musical story-telling art form using a bow-shaped instrument, not a dance before Mariamman, so it is incorrect.

Kolattam is a stick dance performed by women, and 'Sevai Attam' is not the ritual dance before the Goddess Mariamman referred to here.

Hence the performance done before the image of Goddess Mariamman in Tamil Nadu is Karakattam.
