Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. KeralaB. केरल
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Kerala.
According to the source, Kalamezhuthu is an ancient art form woven into the ritualistic traditions associated with Bhagavati, Naga and Ayyappa temples in Kerala.
The book explains that Kalamezhuthu refers to pictorial representations of deities created on the floor using coloured powders during ceremonies.
This makes the question an important part of Indian Art and Culture as well as States GK.
The central association is Kalamezhuthu — Kerala — ritual floor art using coloured powders.
Students should also remember the temple traditions mentioned in the source: Bhagavati, Naga and Ayyappa.
These names provide context for why Kalamezhuthu is described as a ritual art rather than merely a decorative folk painting.
The representation is created on the floor, and coloured powders are the medium specifically identified by the book.
Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have their own rich traditions of ritual and folk art, making them plausible distractors, but Kalamezhuthu is associated with Kerala according to the source.
Such questions are frequently asked by matching folk arts, paintings, dances, martial arts and festivals with their respective states.
A useful preparation method is therefore to maintain a state-wise cultural list.
Under Kerala, this question contributes Kalamezhuthu alongside Kalarippayattu from the previous questions.
For quick revision, remember: Kalamezhuthu — Kerala — Bhagavati, Naga and Ayyappa temple traditions — deities represented on the floor with coloured powders during ceremonies.
Therefore option (b), Kerala, is correct.
सही उत्तर केरल है। स्रोत के अनुसार Kalamezhuthu एक प्राचीन art form है जो Kerala में Bhagavati, Naga और Ayyappa temples की ritualistic traditions से जुड़ा हुआ है। पुस्तक बताती है कि Kalamezhuthu में ceremonies के दौरान coloured powders का प्रयोग करके floor पर deities की pictorial representation बनाई जाती है। इसलिए यह प्रश्न States GK के साथ Indian Art and Culture के लिए भी महत्वपूर्ण है। मुख्य association है: Kalamezhuthu — Kerala — coloured powders से बनाई जाने वाली ritual floor art। स्रोत में Bhagavati, Naga और Ayyappa temple traditions का उल्लेख भी महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इससे स्पष्ट होता है कि यह केवल decorative folk painting नहीं, बल्कि धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों से जुड़ी कला है। चित्र floor पर बनाया जाता है और coloured powders इसका विशेष माध्यम हैं। Maharashtra, Karnataka और Tamil Nadu की भी समृद्ध ritual और folk-art traditions हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं, लेकिन स्रोत Kalamezhuthu को Kerala से जोड़ता है। SSC में folk arts, paintings, dances, martial arts और festivals को उनके राज्यों से match करने वाले प्रश्न बहुत सामान्य हैं। इसलिए state-wise cultural list बनाना उपयोगी है। Kerala के अंतर्गत इस प्रश्न से Kalamezhuthu और पिछले प्रश्न से Kalarippayattu दोनों याद किए जा सकते हैं। Quick revision chain: Kalamezhuthu — Kerala — Bhagavati/Naga/Ayyappa temples — floor पर deities की representation — coloured powders — ceremonies। इसलिए विकल्प (b), केरल, सही उत्तर है।
