उत्तर
Our whole life is a mad search for beauty in different forms. Every fine art is a treasure house of beauty – be it dance, or poetry, or sculpture. What the tribal people regard as beauty may look ugly to us. So beauty has as many forms as one can imagine. But nobody can fail to see the beauty in good deeds, heroic actions, sweet voice, and in nature.
