Kandyan Dance is a famous dance tradition of Sri Lanka. It is named after Kandy, a culturally important region in the central hills of Sri Lanka. The dance includes graceful movements, drums, costumes and ritual elements, and it has become one of the best-known cultural symbols of the country. For SSC Static GK, the main point is the country association: Kandyan Dance equals Sri Lanka. Since the options include neighbouring South Asian countries, students often make mistakes by guessing India or Nepal. Remember the word Kandy, a place in Sri Lanka, to fix the answer.
