Q20.
Consider the following pairs: Traditions — Communities 1. Chaliha Sahib Festival – Sindhis 2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra – Gonds 3. Wari-Warkari – Santhals Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Answer
A
Explanation
Pair 1 is matched correctly: Chalia Sahib is the festival of the Sindhis which involves devotees fasting for days. Pair 2 is not matched correctly: The Nanda Devi Jat is celebrated every year in the Nanda Devi temples spread across Garhwal and Kumaon (Uttarakhand), not among Gonds. Pair 3 is not matched correctly: Pandharpur Wari or Wari (Vari) is an annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur — the seat of the god Vithoba in Maharashtra, associated with the Warkari sect, not Santhals.
