Consider the following pairs:

Traditions : Communities

1Chaliha Sahib Festival : Sindhis
2Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra : Gonds
3Wari-Warkari : Santhals

Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

Options

a

1 only

Answer
b

2 and 3 only

c

1 and 3 only

d

None of the above

Explanation

Pair 1 (Chaliha Sahib Festival : Sindhis) is correctly matched. The Chaliha Sahib is indeed celebrated by the Sindhi community, particularly during spring. Pair 2 (Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra : Gonds) is incorrectly matched because Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a festival of the Garhwali people of Uttarakhand, not the Gonds. Pair 3 (Wari-Warkari : Santhals) is also incorrectly matched because the Wari-Warkari is a pilgrimage tradition of devotional movement associated with Maharashtra (particularly Marathi people), not the Santhal community of eastern India. The Santhals are associated with other traditions like the Sohrai and Jaher festivals. Only the first pair is correctly matched. > Chaliha Sahib = Sindhi; Nanda Raj Jaat = Garhwali; Wari-Warkari = Marathi. Answer: (a).
