Question

Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

Caged behind thick glass, the most famous dancer in the world can easily be missed in the

National Museum, Delhi. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-Daro is that rare artifact that even schoolchildren are familiar with. Our school textbooks also communicate the wealth of our 5000-year

heritage of art. You have to be alert to her existence there, amid terracotta animals to

rediscover this bronze image.

Most of us have seen her only in photographs or sketches, therefore the impact of actually

holding her is magnified a million times over. One discovers that the dancing girl has no feet.

She is small, a little over 10cm tall – the length of a human palm but she surprises us with the

power of great art the ability to communicate across centuries.

A series of bangles of shell or ivory or thin metal clothe her left upper arm all the way down to

her fingers. A necklace with three pendants bunched together and a few bangles above the

elbow and wrist on the right hand display an almost modern art.

She speaks of the undaunted, ever hopeful human spirit. She reminds us that it is important to

visit museums in our country to experience the impact that a work of art leaves in our senses,

to find among all the riches one particular vision of beauty that speaks to us alone.
