Kanthuri Utsav is celebrated in which state of India?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. Tamil NaduB. तमिलनाडु
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Tamil Nadu.
According to the source, the Kanthuri Festival is held in Tamil Nadu in commemoration of Saint Quadirwali.
The book provides a concise explanation, so the central source-supported association is Kanthuri Utsav — Tamil Nadu — commemoration of Saint Quadirwali.
This type of question is important for competitive examinations because regional festivals are frequently tested by state, associated saint, deity, tribe or historical personality.
In this case the geographical clue is Tamil Nadu, but the association with Saint Quadirwali is equally useful because a future question may reverse the wording and ask which festival commemorates this saint.
Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala are all neighbouring or nearby southern states with rich regional traditions, making them plausible distractors.
Therefore students should rely on the specific source association rather than simply choosing a southern state.
Since the book does not provide the city, district, month, duration or rituals of Kanthuri Utsav in this particular explanation, those details should not be added as though they were derived from the source.
The safest preparation method is to remember the exact three-part chain given by the book: Kanthuri Utsav — Tamil Nadu — Saint Quadirwali.
This is also an example of how Static GK festival questions can overlap with religious and cultural history.
If a later question asks the state, Tamil Nadu is the answer; if it asks the person commemorated, Saint Quadirwali is the source-supported answer.
Therefore option (b), Tamil Nadu, is correct.
सही उत्तर तमिलनाडु है। स्रोत के अनुसार Kanthuri Festival Tamil Nadu में मनाया जाता है और यह Saint Quadirwali की स्मृति में आयोजित किया जाता है। पुस्तक की explanation संक्षिप्त है, इसलिए source-supported मुख्य association है: Kanthuri Utsav — Tamil Nadu — Saint Quadirwali। Competitive examinations में regional festivals को state, saint, deity, tribe या historical personality से जोड़कर प्रश्न पूछे जाते हैं। इस question में state पूछा गया है, लेकिन Saint Quadirwali वाला fact भी उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि future question उल्टे रूप में पूछा जा सकता है कि Saint Quadirwali की स्मृति में कौन-सा festival मनाया जाता है। Telangana, Karnataka और Kerala भी दक्षिण भारत के महत्वपूर्ण cultural states हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं। केवल geographical proximity के आधार पर answer नहीं चुनना चाहिए; source का exact festival-state association याद रखना चाहिए। पुस्तक इस particular explanation में city, district, month, duration या rituals की जानकारी नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision chain रखें: Kanthuri Utsav — Tamil Nadu — Saint Quadirwali। यह question Religious and Cultural GK दोनों से जुड़ता है। यदि state पूछा जाए तो answer Tamil Nadu होगा; यदि commemorated saint पूछा जाए तो source के अनुसार Saint Quadirwali होगा। इसलिए विकल्प (b), तमिलनाडु, सही उत्तर है।
