Hint:

\[ \text{Karanas} \] are fundamental dance movements described in the: \[ \textit{Natyashastra} \] Examples: \[ \text{Talapuspaputa, Nagapasarpita, Vartita} \] Total number of Karanas: \[ 108 \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
In the Natyashastra, Karanas are fundamental dance units formed through the coordinated movement of hands, feet, and body. Bharata Muni described 108 Karanas which became the technical basis of Indian classical dance traditions.

Step 1: Identify the names that belong to Karanas.
\[ \text{Vartita} \] is a Karana described in the Natyashastra. \[ \text{Talapuspaputa} \] is also one of the important Karanas. \[ \text{Nagapasarpita} \] is another recognized Karana. \[ \text{Gridhravalinaka} \] also belongs to the Karana classification. Thus: \[ A,\ B,\ C,\ E \] are Karanas.

Step 2: Identify the term that is not a Karana.
\[ \text{Vichyavaa} \] is not listed among the classical Karanas described in the Natyashastra. Thus: \[ D \] is excluded.

Step 3: Select the correct combination.
The correct set is: \[ A,\ B,\ C,\ E \]

Step 4: Compare with the given options.
Among the given choices: \[ (A)\ A,B,C \] \[ (B)\ B,D,C,E \] \[ (C)\ A,B,C,E \] \[ (D)\ B,C,D \] the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A,B,C,E} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(C)}} \]
