Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. SikkimD. सिक्किम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Sikkim.
According to the source, Bumchu is a famous festival celebrated by Buddhists living in Sikkim.
The book also explains that the literal meaning of the word 'Bumchu' is 'sacred pot'.
These two facts form the core information supplied by the source: Bumchu — Sikkim — Buddhist community — literal meaning 'sacred pot'.
This is an important association for competitive examinations because festivals of North-Eastern India are frequently asked in SSC and other government examinations through state-festival matching.
West Bengal, Odisha and Assam also have important Buddhist, tribal and regional cultural traditions, which makes them plausible distractors, but the source explicitly identifies Sikkim as the correct state.
Students should remember the literal meaning as well because a future question can reverse the fact and ask which festival's name means 'sacred pot'.
Similarly, the community associated with Bumchu may also be tested.
A useful revision method is to organise festivals state-wise and community-wise.
Under Sikkim, Bumchu should be prominently included and associated with the Buddhist population.
The source does not provide the month, monastery, rituals, historical origin or duration of Bumchu in this particular explanation.
Therefore those details should not be presented as if they were derived from this book.
For source-based preparation, retain the concise but useful chain: Bumchu — Sikkim — celebrated by Buddhists — 'sacred pot'.
Thus option (d), Sikkim, is correct.
सही उत्तर सिक्किम है। स्रोत के अनुसार Bumchu एक प्रसिद्ध festival है जिसे Sikkim में रहने वाले Buddhists द्वारा मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक 'Bumchu' शब्द का literal meaning भी बताती है—'sacred pot' अर्थात 'पवित्र पात्र'। इसलिए source से इस प्रश्न के चार महत्वपूर्ण facts मिलते हैं: Bumchu — Sikkim — Buddhist Community — Meaning: Sacred Pot। Competitive examinations में North-East India के festivals से state-festival matching वाले प्रश्न बार-बार पूछे जाते हैं, इसलिए यह association महत्वपूर्ण है। West Bengal, Odisha और Assam की भी अपनी महत्वपूर्ण Buddhist, tribal और regional cultural traditions हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं, लेकिन source स्पष्ट रूप से Sikkim को सही उत्तर बताता है। 'Sacred pot' वाला fact भी जरूर याद रखें क्योंकि future question उल्टे रूप में पूछा जा सकता है—किस festival के नाम का अर्थ sacred pot है? इसी तरह यह भी पूछा जा सकता है कि Bumchu मुख्य रूप से किस community से जुड़ा है। State-wise revision में Sikkim के अंतर्गत Bumchu को Buddhist festival के रूप में रखें। Source इस particular explanation में इसके month, monastery, rituals, historical origin या duration की जानकारी नहीं देता। इसलिए ऐसी अतिरिक्त जानकारी को book-derived information के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision chain: Bumchu — Sikkim — Buddhists — Sacred Pot। इसलिए विकल्प (d), सिक्किम, सही उत्तर है।
