In memory of whom is the Madhavpur Mela of Gujarat celebrated?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Lord Krishna and RukminiA. भगवान कृष्ण और रुक्मिणी
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Lord Krishna and Rukmini.
According to the source, Madhavpur (Ghed) is a small but culturally significant village in Gujarat.
The book states that Krishna married Rukmini at Madhavpur after first kidnapping her, and this event is commemorated through a temple dedicated to Lord Madhavrai and an annual fair held in the village.
The question therefore tests the cultural and mythological association of Madhavpur Mela rather than only its geographical location.
The previous PYQ identifies Madhavpur Mela with Porbandar district in Gujarat, so students should combine both facts for effective revision.
The complete source-based association is: Madhavpur Mela — Gujarat — Porbandar district — Madhavpur (Ghed) — commemorates Krishna and Rukmini — temple of Lord Madhavrai — annual fair.
The distractors Krishna-Draupadi, Krishna-Radha and Shiva-Parvati are all familiar religious associations, which makes the question potentially confusing.
The source explicitly links Madhavpur with the marriage of Krishna and Rukmini.
Competitive examinations often ask fairs and festivals through the legend or deity associated with them, so geographical and religious-context facts should be studied together.
Since the book provides the story in direct terms, that source framing has been preserved.
The question bank should not silently replace the source's account with a broader retelling.
For quick revision: Madhavpur Mela — Krishna + Rukmini — Madhavpur (Ghed), Gujarat — Lord Madhavrai temple.
Therefore option (a) is correct.
सही उत्तर भगवान कृष्ण और रुक्मिणी है। स्रोत के अनुसार Madhavpur (Ghed) Gujarat का एक छोटा लेकिन culturally significant village है। पुस्तक बताती है कि Krishna ने Rukmini का पहले अपहरण किया और फिर Madhavpur में उनसे विवाह किया। इसी घटना की स्मृति में Lord Madhavrai को समर्पित temple और village में annual fair के माध्यम से commemorated किया जाता है। इसलिए यह प्रश्न केवल mela की location नहीं, बल्कि उसके cultural और mythological association को पूछता है। पिछले PYQ में Madhavpur Mela को Porbandar district, Gujarat से जोड़ा गया है, इसलिए दोनों facts को साथ revise करना चाहिए। Complete source-based association: Madhavpur Mela — Gujarat — Porbandar district — Madhavpur (Ghed) — Krishna and Rukmini — Lord Madhavrai Temple — Annual Fair। Krishna-Draupadi, Krishna-Radha और Shiva-Parvati सभी परिचित धार्मिक युग्म हैं, इसलिए वे अच्छे distractors हैं। लेकिन source स्पष्ट रूप से Madhavpur को Krishna-Rukmini marriage story से जोड़ता है। Competitive exams में fairs और festivals को उनकी legend, deity या religious association से भी पूछा जाता है, इसलिए geography और cultural context दोनों साथ पढ़ना चाहिए। Book की story framing को उसी रूप में preserve किया गया है। Quick revision: Madhavpur Mela — Krishna + Rukmini — Madhavpur (Ghed), Gujarat — Lord Madhavrai Temple। इसलिए विकल्प (a), भगवान कृष्ण और रुक्मिणी, सही उत्तर है।
