The correct answer is b. West Bengal
The repertoire of Purulia Chhau embodies the rich cultural heritage of West Bengal. The tableau showcases the spirit of Chhau -- a vibrant mask dance performed in certain areas of the state.

The tableau portrays Kartikeya in his divine regalia. The accompanying artistes are enacting their much-acclaimed 'Mahishasura Mardini' -- symbolising triumph of good over evil.

Distinctive aspects of Purulia Chhau through colourful masks, accessories, folk instruments that create the aura and ambience of an animated dance, kept alive by the rural communities, are encapsulated in the tableau.
