Solution(By Examveda Team)

The first mention of Thumri goes back to the 19^th century, with a link to the classical dance form Kathak. A thumri singer goes straight to the emotional core of a composition and evokes each yarn of amorous feeling, each strand of sensuous sentiment, with great discretion. It is light and attractive singing style.
