Who played a significant role in the development of Mohiniattam?
Swati Tirunal
Mohiniattam is the classical solo dance of Kerala, performed mainly by women in a graceful, swaying style.
Swati Tirunal Rama Varma (1813–1846), the Maharaja of Travancore, patronised the dance and composed many padams and varnams for it, giving it a refined repertoire.
Later, the poet Vallathol Narayana Menon revived it through Kerala Kalamandalam (1930).
Rajendra Chola was an 11th-century Chola emperor, Rukmini Devi Arundale is known for reviving Bharatanatyam through Kalakshetra, and M.S. Subbulakshmi was a Carnatic vocalist.
Hence, Swati Tirunal.
