In which of the following states is the Ugadi Festival considered important?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. KarnatakaD. कर्नाटक
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Karnataka.
According to the source, the term Ugadi is used by the people of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
The book further states that in Maharashtra the corresponding celebration is known as Gudi Padwa.
It says that Ugadi is celebrated around the month of April and describes it as a one-day celebration that brings people of the state together to enjoy the occasion.
The immediate question asks which listed state considers Ugadi important, and among the options Karnataka is correct.
However, students should retain the broader source information that Ugadi is associated with both Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
This distinction is important because a future question may provide Andhra Pradesh as an option or ask for more than one state.
The source also creates an important comparative association: Ugadi — Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka; Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra.
Competitive exams frequently ask regional New Year festivals through state matching, making this a valuable pair to memorise.
The source places Ugadi around April, which is another useful clue.
Chhattisgarh, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh are not identified by this source as the intended answer.
For quick revision, remember: Ugadi — Andhra Pradesh + Karnataka — around April — one-day celebration; Maharashtra — Gudi Padwa.
Since the book provides no further ritual or calendrical detail in this entry, additional information should not be treated as source-derived.
Therefore option (d), Karnataka, is correct for the given MCQ.
सही उत्तर कर्नाटक है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ugadi शब्द का उपयोग Andhra Pradesh और Karnataka के लोगों द्वारा किया जाता है। पुस्तक आगे बताती है कि Maharashtra में इसी प्रकार के celebration को Gudi Padwa कहा जाता है। Source के अनुसार Ugadi लगभग April के महीने में मनाया जाता है और इसे one-day celebration बताया गया है जो राज्य के लोगों को एक साथ उत्सव मनाने का अवसर देता है। इस particular question में दिए गए options में Karnataka सही उत्तर है। लेकिन विद्यार्थियों को broader source fact भी याद रखना चाहिए कि Ugadi केवल Karnataka ही नहीं, बल्कि Andhra Pradesh से भी associated है। यह distinction महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि future question में Andhra Pradesh option के रूप में दिया जा सकता है या multiple states पूछे जा सकते हैं। Source एक महत्वपूर्ण comparative association देता है: Ugadi — Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka; Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra। Competitive exams में regional New Year festivals को states से match करने वाले questions common हैं। April वाला timing भी useful clue है। Chhattisgarh, Nagaland और Arunachal Pradesh इस source के अनुसार intended answer नहीं हैं। Quick revision chain: Ugadi — Andhra Pradesh + Karnataka — Around April — One-day Celebration; Maharashtra — Gudi Padwa। Source इस entry में rituals या detailed calendar information नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। दिए गए MCQ में विकल्प (d), Karnataka, सही उत्तर है।
