With reference to the famous Sattriya dance, consider the following statements : 1. Sattriya is a combination of music, dance and drama. 2. It is a centuries-old living tradition of Vaishnavites of Assam. 3. It is based on classical Ragas and Talas of devotional songs composed by Tulsidas, Kabir and Mirabai. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Sattriya is a composite art form of music, dance, and drama preserved in the Vaishnavite monasteries (*Sattras*) of Assam since the 15th century, making statements 1 and 2 correct. Statement 3 is incorrect because the dance is based on the *Borgeets* (devotional songs) composed specifically by the Assamese saint-reformer Sankaradeva and his disciple Madhavadeva, not by North Indian Bhakti poets like Tulsidas or Kabir. This question tests the core concept of Indian Classical Dances and their specific regional, historical, and literary origins within the Bhakti movement.
