Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 2010.
According to the source, the Kalbelia folk songs and dances of Rajasthan were included in UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010.
The book provides a substantial cultural description.
It states that the songs and dances express the traditional way of life of the Kalbelia community.
Women wearing flowing black skirts dance and swirl in movements that replicate those of a serpent.
Men accompany the performance on the Khanjari, identified by the source as a percussion instrument, and the Pungi, described as a woodwind instrument traditionally played to capture snakes.
The source further states that dancers wear traditional tattoo designs, jewellery and garments richly embroidered with small mirrors and silver thread.
Kalbelia songs disseminate mythological knowledge through stories, while special traditional dances are performed during Holi.
The book also emphasises the poetic ability of the Kalbelia community, stating that performers are reputed to compose lyrics spontaneously and improvise songs during performances.
Therefore the complete examination chain includes: Kalbelia — Rajasthan — UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative List — 2010 — serpent-like dance movements — women in flowing black skirts — Khanjari percussion — Pungi woodwind — traditional tattoos, jewellery, mirror and silver-thread embroidery — mythological knowledge through songs — Holi performances — spontaneous lyrical composition and improvisation.
