Q2. Pick out the complex sentences from the following passage. Then break up each of the
complex sentences into separate clauses. Mark the main clause as M.C and the subordinate clause as
Sub C. (the first one is solved for you.)
Goupuas are boy dancers who dress as girls. They are the products of the 'akhadas' or gymnasia
which were set up by the King Ramachandra Deva in Puri. These akhadas provided military training
to young men who would protect the town and the temple from intruders. The akhadas were like
clubs, the main concern of which was gymnastics or the art of selfdefence. Those akhadas also served
as nurseries where gotipua dancers were trained. Gotipuas were also known as 'akhadapilas' because
the boy dancers were generated by the akhadasystem. There is another reason which explains the
emergence of the gotipua tradition in Odisha. There was a time when the Vaishnava religion did not
approve of dancing by women in temple. So the practice of dancing by boys dressed as girls was
introduced. The gotipua dance had strong connection with what the maharis offered. The dance style
of gotipuas existed independently, although it had common roots with the dance style of the maharis.
The Odissi dance of today has grown from both these traditions, which are associated with Raja
Ramachandra Deva.

Bijoylakshmi Mohanty in frog formation of Bandha nritya
Having seen Guru Deba Prasad Das demonstrating technique of Odissi at All India Dance Seminar in April 1958, at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, I was curious to know more about Odissi dance form. By fortuitous circumstances I met a Gujarati organiser Babulal Doshi, director of Kala Vikash Kendra institution from Cuttack where children were taught dance, not knowing exactly that it was a classical dance form. He asked me to visit Puri for darshan of Lord Jagannath and go with him to Cuttack to know more about Odissi.
Next year in 1959 there was an Oriental Conference at Bhubaneswar where chief minister Hare Krushna Mehtab was the president. Dr V. Raghavan, the Sanskrit scholar was also presiding over one of the sessions when Odissi dance was presented by one Dhirendranath Pattanaik, a dancer and a scholar. Babulal Doshi also attended the conference. He took me to Kala Vikash Kendra in Cuttack and showed me young girls ranging from age of 10 to 15 learning Odissi dance. It was there that I first time saw young Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra and his prime disciple twelve year old, attractive Kum Kum Mohanty (nee Das).I did not then know that Kelucharan Mahapatra would become the legendary guru and one of the architects of Odissi dance, the other two gurus being Pankaj Charan Das, adopted son of a Mahari, Devdasi and Guru Deba Prasad Das.
Thanks to Babulal Doshi, who invited me to Cuttack to undertake research on Odissi dance that I came to know for the first time that Kelubabu was a Gotipua dancer, hailing from a village Raghurajpur, where he was born in a family of painters who made Patachitra using mythological themes. The word Goti in Odiya language means one and pua means a boy. The young boys from the age of five would be trained in dance, dressed as girls with elaborate make-up and chitravali, dotted design on their face decorating patterns of little dots of leaves running through cheeks on both the sides. For base they used white powder of lime and red colour for cheeks. When completely dressed as young female they looked so cute, the tiny tots while dancing and singing would steal hearts of the spectators.
It was in 1966 or there about that
