The songs and music of which of the following Veda was known as Marga sangeet?

Rigveda
Samaveda
Atharvaveda
None of these

The correct answer is: B. Samaveda

Samaveda is one of the four Vedas, the sacred texts of Hinduism. It is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, which were originally composed to be sung in a ritual context. The Samaveda is also known as the “Song Veda” or the “Veda of Melody”.

The songs and music of the Samaveda are known as marga sangeet. Marga sangeet is a form of Vedic chant that is characterized by its use of melismatic melodies and its complex rhythmic structure. Marga sangeet is still performed today in Hindu temples and other religious ceremonies.

The other options are incorrect because they do not refer to the Samaveda. Rigveda is the oldest Veda and is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns. Atharvaveda is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns that are concerned with magic and healing. None of these Vedas are known for their songs and music.
