Correct Answerसही उत्तर

A. Ambubachi FestivalA. अंबुबाची त्योहार

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Ambubachi Festival.
According to the source, Ambubachi Mela is an annual Hindu mela held at Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam.
The book further states that this yearly festival is celebrated during the monsoon season, which falls during the Assamese month of Ahaar.
This question is especially useful because it distinguishes between several festivals associated with Assam while asking for the one specifically hosted at Kamakhya Temple.
Students should therefore remember the full chain: Ambubachi Festival
Mela — Kamakhya Temple — Guwahati — Assam — annual Hindu mela — monsoon season — Assamese month Ahaar.
The source's earlier questions also connect Ambubachi with Kamakhya Temple and Assam, so this is a repeated high-frequency association in the book.
Repetition in PYQs is valuable because it shows that the same cultural fact can be tested through different wording: temple, state, city or season.
Bihu, Baishagu and Majuli are listed in the question as Assam-related festivals, but they are not the specific Kamakhya Temple festival being asked about.
Students should read the wording carefully because the question itself says all listed festivals are associated with Assam; therefore selecting a festival merely because it belongs to Assam is not enough.
The temple-specific association decides the answer.
The source does not add further ritual detail in this entry, so the answer should remain grounded in its stated facts.
Therefore option (a), Ambubachi Festival, is correct.

सही उत्तर Ambubachi Festival है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ambubachi Mela एक annual Hindu mela है जो Guwahati, Assam के Kamakhya Temple में आयोजित होता है। पुस्तक आगे बताती है कि यह yearly festival monsoon season में मनाया जाता है और यह Assamese month Ahaar के दौरान पड़ता है। यह question विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इसमें सभी options Assam के festivals बताए गए हैं, लेकिन पूछा गया है कि इनमें से कौन specifically Kamakhya Devi Temple में आयोजित होता है। इसलिए पूरा association याद रखें: Ambubachi Festival/Mela — Kamakhya Temple — Guwahati — Assam — Annual Hindu Mela — Monsoon Season — Assamese Month Ahaar। Source की earlier questions भी Ambubachi को Kamakhya Temple और Assam से जोड़ती हैं, इसलिए यह book में repeatedly tested high-frequency fact है। यही fact अलग-अलग wording से पूछा जा सकता है—state, temple, city या season। Bihu, Baishagu और Majuli भी question के अनुसार Assam-related festivals हैं, लेकिन वे Kamakhya Temple वाला specific answer नहीं हैं। इसलिए wording carefully पढ़ना जरूरी है। केवल यह जानना कि कोई festival Assam का है, पर्याप्त नहीं होगा; temple-specific association answer तय करता है। Source इस entry में rituals की additional detail नहीं देता, इसलिए explanation को source facts तक सीमित रखा गया है। Quick revision: Ambubachi — Kamakhya Temple — Guwahati — Assam — Monsoon — Ahaar Month। इसलिए विकल्प (a), Ambubachi Festival, सही उत्तर है।
