The Natya Shastra, authored by Bharata Muni (circa 200 BCE тАУ 200 CE), is the foundational text of Indian classical performing arts, including music, dance, and theater, often referred to as the Fifth Veda.
Avanaddha Vadya includes instruments like the Mridangam, Tabla, Pakhawaj, and Dholak.
The classification system in Natya Shastra divides instruments into four major groups based on the source of vibration.
This classical classification remains the scientific basis for modern organology in India.
Tata Vadya refers to chordophones or string instruments (e.g., Veena, Sitar).
Sushira Vadya refers to aerophones or wind instruments (e.g., Flute, Shehnai).
Ghana Vadya refers to idiophones or solid instruments that do not require tuning (e.g., Manjira, Ghatam).
Avanaddha instruments are traditionally associated with the rhythmic element (Tala) in Indian classical music.
C is correct тАФ Avanaddha Vadya specifically identifies instruments covered with leather, which covers all percussion instruments like drums.
