The festival of ______ is also known as Phagwa.

Correct Answerसही उत्तर

B. HoliB. होली

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Holi.
According to the source, Phagwah or Holi is an annual Hindu Festival of Colours celebrating the arrival of spring.
The book describes Holi as a popular ancient Hindu festival originating from the Indian subcontinent.
It also provides several alternative names associated with different stages or regional usages of the festival.
The first evening is described as Holika Dahan, also called Chhoti Holi, while the following day is referred to as Holi, Rangwali Holi, Dhuleti, Dhulandi or Phagwah.
These details are valuable for competitive examinations because one festival can appear under multiple names in different questions.
Students should therefore remember the complete association: Holi — Phagwah
Phagwa — Festival of Colours — arrival of spring — first evening Holika Dahan
Chhoti Holi — following day Rangwali Holi
Dhuleti
Dhulandi
Phagwah.
Sankranti, Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi are major festivals but are not called Phagwa according to the source.
The wording 'also known as' is important because SSC often tests alternative names of festivals.
Rather than memorising only the answer Holi, students should use this question to create a synonym-style festival list.
The source also identifies Holi as an ancient Hindu festival from the Indian subcontinent.
Therefore option (b), Holi, is correct, and Phagwah should be retained as one of its alternative names in the context supplied by the book.

सही उत्तर होली है। स्रोत के अनुसार Phagwah या Holi एक annual Hindu Festival of Colours है जो spring के arrival का उत्सव है। पुस्तक Holi को Indian subcontinent से उत्पन्न एक popular ancient Hindu festival बताती है। Source इसके अलग-अलग stages और regional usages से जुड़े कई alternative names भी देता है। First evening को Holika Dahan या Chhoti Holi कहा जाता है, जबकि अगले दिन को Holi, Rangwali Holi, Dhuleti, Dhulandi या Phagwah कहा जाता है। ये facts competitive examinations के लिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं क्योंकि एक ही festival अलग-अलग नामों से पूछा जा सकता है। Complete association याद रखें: Holi — Phagwah/Phagwa — Festival of Colours — Arrival of Spring — First Evening: Holika Dahan/Chhoti Holi — Next Day: Rangwali Holi/Dhuleti/Dhulandi/Phagwah। Sankranti, Diwali और Ganesh Chaturthi important festivals हैं, लेकिन source के अनुसार उन्हें Phagwa नहीं कहा जाता। 'Also known as' wording पर ध्यान देना चाहिए क्योंकि SSC alternative names से questions बहुत पूछता है। केवल answer Holi याद करने के बजाय इस question से festival-synonym list तैयार की जा सकती है। Source Holi को ancient Hindu festival और Indian subcontinent से originating festival भी बताता है। इसलिए विकल्प (b), होली, सही उत्तर है और Phagwah को इसके alternative names में याद रखना चाहिए।
