Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Lohri.
According to the source, Lohri is a harvest festival associated with Punjab.
The book explains that the festival is marked by eating sheaves of roasted corn from the new harvest.
It particularly connects Lohri with the January sugarcane harvest.
Sugarcane products such as gurh and gachak are described as central to Lohri celebrations, along with nuts harvested in January.
Therefore the source provides a detailed agricultural association rather than merely identifying Lohri as a festival.
The complete revision chain is: Lohri — Punjab — harvest festival — January — sugarcane harvest — roasted corn from the new harvest — gurh — gachak — nuts.
This cluster is useful for competitive examinations because harvest festivals are frequently matched with states, crops and seasons.
The other options represent different cultural traditions and therefore serve as distractors, while the source specifically identifies Lohri as the harvest festival among the choices.
Students should especially remember the Punjab connection even though it is supplied in the explanation rather than the question itself.
A future question may ask which crop's January harvest is associated with Lohri according to the book; the answer would be sugarcane.
Similarly, gurh and gachak can serve as clues to Lohri.
The source does not provide a specific calendar date or detailed religious history in this entry.
Therefore those details are not inserted as book-derived information.
For source-based revision: Lohri — Punjab — January harvest festival — sugarcane — roasted corn — gurh and gachak.
Thus option (b), Lohri, is correct.

सही उत्तर लोहड़ी है। स्रोत के अनुसार Lohri Punjab से संबंधित एक harvest festival है। पुस्तक बताती है कि इस festival में नई फसल से प्राप्त roasted corn की बालियां खाने की परंपरा का उल्लेख है। Source विशेष रूप से Lohri को January sugarcane harvest से जोड़ता है। Sugarcane से बने products जैसे gurh और gachak को Lohri celebrations का central हिस्सा बताया गया है। January में harvested nuts का भी उल्लेख किया गया है। इसलिए source केवल Lohri को harvest festival नहीं कहता बल्कि उसके agricultural context की भी जानकारी देता है। Complete revision chain: Lohri — Punjab — Harvest Festival — January — Sugarcane Harvest — Roasted Corn — Gurh — Gachak — Nuts। Competitive exams में harvest festivals को states, crops और seasons से match करने वाले questions बहुत common हैं। इसलिए Punjab association जरूर याद रखें। Future question में पूछा जा सकता है कि Lohri किस crop की January harvest से जुड़ी है; source के अनुसार answer sugarcane होगा। इसी तरह gurh और gachak clues के रूप में दिए जा सकते हैं। बाकी options अलग cultural traditions को represent करते हैं और यहां distractors हैं। Source इस entry में exact calendar date या festival की detailed religious history नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Lohri — Punjab — January Harvest Festival — Sugarcane — Roasted Corn — Gurh and Gachak। इसलिए विकल्प (b), लोहड़ी, सही उत्तर है।
