Q. In the context of cultural history of India, a pose in dance and dramatics called 'Tribhanga' has been a favourite of Indian artists from ancient times till today. Which one of the following statements best describes this pose? (UPSC Prelims 2013)
Answer: One leg is bent and the body is slightly but oppositely curved at waist and neck
Notes: The Tribhanga pose is characterized by three bends in the body: one at the neck, one at the waist, and one at the knee. This creates a graceful S-shaped curve that artists have favored since ancient times. It typically involves one leg bent and the body curved oppositely at the waist and neck, making it distinctive and widely recognized in Indian dance and art traditions.
