Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. NavratriB. नवरात्रि
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Navratri.
According to the source, Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine avatars or forms.
The book describes it as a major festival held in honour of the divine feminine and says that it occurs over nine days during the month of Ashvin or Ashvina.
It further lists the nine forms worshipped during the festival as Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalaratri, Mahagauri and Durga.
These details make this question much richer than a simple festival-name MCQ.
For competitive examinations, students should remember the central association Navratri — Goddess Durga — nine days — Ashvin
Ashvina — worship of nine forms of the Goddess.
The list of nine forms can also be used for statement-based or matching questions.
Holi, Diwali and Sankranti are major Hindu festivals but have different central themes, making them plausible distractors.
Since the source specifically describes Navratri as a festival honouring the divine feminine, the direct answer is unambiguous.
A useful memory technique is to connect the name Navratri itself with nine nights
days of worship, though the book's explanation here focuses on the nine-day observance.
Students should preserve the exact nine-name list as given in the source if using this book for PYQ preparation.
The complete revision chain is: Navratri — Goddess Durga — nine forms — nine days — Ashvin
Ashvina — divine feminine.
Therefore option (b), Navratri, is correct.
सही उत्तर नवरात्रि है। स्रोत के अनुसार Navratri देवी Durga और उनके nine avatars या forms को समर्पित है। पुस्तक इसे divine feminine के सम्मान में मनाया जाने वाला major festival बताती है और कहती है कि यह Ashvin या Ashvina महीने में nine days तक चलता है। Source नौ रूपों की सूची भी देता है: Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalaratri, Mahagauri और Durga। इसलिए यह केवल एक simple festival-name MCQ नहीं है; इसके भीतर कई exam facts छिपे हैं। मुख्य association याद रखें: Navratri — Goddess Durga — Nine Days — Ashvin/Ashvina — Nine Forms of Goddess। नौ रूपों की list statement-based या matching questions में भी पूछी जा सकती है। Holi, Diwali और Sankranti भी महत्वपूर्ण Hindu festivals हैं, लेकिन उनकी central themes अलग हैं। Source विशेष रूप से Navratri को divine feminine के honour में आयोजित festival बताता है, इसलिए answer स्पष्ट है। विद्यार्थियों को source में दी गई nine forms की list उसी रूप में preserve करनी चाहिए यदि वे इस book से PYQ revision कर रहे हैं। Quick revision chain: Navratri — Durga — Nine Forms — Nine Days — Ashvin/Ashvina — Divine Feminine। यह association future questions में festival, deity, duration या month—किसी भी angle से उपयोगी होगा। इसलिए विकल्प (b), नवरात्रि, सही उत्तर है।
