Correct Answer: R Muthukannammal


Solution : The correct answer is R Muthukannammal .

In Tamil Nadu, India's R Muthukannammal is a seventh-generation renowned Sadir dancer. Out of the 32 Devadasis who served the deity at the Viralimalai Murugan temple, she is the only one who has survived. She is the final woman to undergo the Pottukkattutal ceremony at the Viralimalai temple, which involves self-dedication to God. The Indian Government awarded Muthukannammal the Padma Shri award in 2022 in recognition of her services to the arts.
