The correct answer is

Kerala

The question asks which state's satirical dance-drama is 'Kakkarissi Natakam'.

The correct answer is Kerala. Kakkarissi Natakam is a traditional satirical dance-drama of Kerala based on the mythology of Lord Shiva and Parvati.

In the play, Shiva and Parvati descend to earth in the guise of a gypsy couple (Kakkalan and Kakkathi), and the performance blends humour, music and social satire.

The dialogues are in a mix of Tamil and Malayalam, reflecting the cultural influences in southern Kerala.

It is performed to musical accompaniment and is a popular temple-festival art form.

Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tripura have their own distinct dance and drama traditions, but Kakkarissi Natakam does not belong to any of them.

Hence, Kakkarissi Natakam is a satirical dance-drama of Kerala.
