Wangala Festival is celebrated in which of the following states of India?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. MeghalayaD. मेघालय
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Meghalaya.
According to the source, Wangala is the greatest traditional festival of the Garo tribes.
The book states that Garo communities live in Meghalaya, India, Assam and Greater Mymensingh in Bangladesh.
It further explains that the tribes celebrate Wangala at every harvesting period in late autumn and that the festival falls during the second week of November each year.
For the direct question, Meghalaya is the correct state among the given options.
However, the explanation provides several additional facts that should be retained for competitive examinations: Wangala — Garo Tribe — Meghalaya — harvest period — late autumn — second week of November.
This is especially useful because North-East Indian festival questions are frequently framed as tribe-state-festival matching.
A future question may ask which tribe celebrates Wangala, in which case Garo would be the answer according to the source.
Alternatively, the timing may be tested.
Bihar, Kerala and Tamil Nadu have important harvest and regional festivals of their own, making them plausible distractors, but they are not the intended state in this question.
The source's mention of Garo communities outside Meghalaya gives broader ethnographic context, but the exam answer remains Meghalaya.
The book does not provide additional ritual details or a duration for Wangala in this entry.
Therefore they should not be added as source-derived facts.
Quick revision chain: Wangala — Meghalaya — Garo Tribe — Harvest Festival
Harvesting Period — Late Autumn — Second Week of November.
Hence option (d), Meghalaya, is correct.
सही उत्तर मेघालय है। स्रोत के अनुसार Wangala Garo tribes का सबसे प्रमुख traditional festival है। पुस्तक बताती है कि Garo communities Meghalaya, Assam तथा Bangladesh के Greater Mymensingh क्षेत्र में भी रहती हैं। Source के अनुसार tribes Wangala को harvesting period में late autumn के दौरान मनाती हैं और यह festival प्रत्येक वर्ष November के second week में पड़ता है। Direct question के options में Meghalaya सही state है। लेकिन explanation से कई additional exam facts मिलते हैं: Wangala — Garo Tribe — Meghalaya — Harvesting Period — Late Autumn — Second Week of November। North-East India के festivals पर SSC में tribe-state-festival matching बहुत common है। इसलिए केवल Meghalaya नहीं, बल्कि Garo Tribe भी साथ याद करें। Future question में 'Wangala किस tribe का festival है?' पूछा जा सकता है, जिसका source-based answer Garo होगा। Timing पर भी question बन सकता है। Bihar, Kerala और Tamil Nadu की अपनी महत्वपूर्ण harvest तथा regional festivals हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं, लेकिन इस question का intended answer Meghalaya है। Source Garo communities की Meghalaya के बाहर presence का भी उल्लेख करता है, लेकिन MCQ answer पर इसका प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता। पुस्तक इस entry में rituals या duration की जानकारी नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Wangala — Meghalaya — Garo Tribe — Harvest Festival/Harvesting Period — Late Autumn — November Second Week। इसलिए विकल्प (d), मेघालय, सही उत्तर है।
