Correct Answerसही उत्तर

C. Guru PadmasambhavaC. गुरु पद्मसंभव

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Guru Padmasambhava.
According to the source, Hemis Festival is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava.
The book further states that his name means 'precious master' in English and that the festival is mainly celebrated in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Therefore the complete source-supported association is: Hemis Tsechu
Hemis Festival — Guru Padmasambhava — birth anniversary — 'precious master' — Ladakh.
This is a very useful festival-personality-location combination for competitive examinations.
A future question may ask where Hemis Festival is mainly celebrated, who is commemorated, or what the source says the name Padmasambhava means.
The distractors Dalai Lama, Gautama Buddha and Adi Shankaracharya are all major religious figures, so students need the specific Hemis association to answer confidently.
Since the source explicitly uses the present administrative term Union Territory of Ladakh, that terminology is preserved.
The book does not provide the monastery, month, duration or ritual features of the festival in this particular explanation, so those details should not be inserted as book-derived content.
Students should form a compact memory chain: Hemis Festival — Ladakh — Guru Padmasambhava — birth anniversary — precious master.
This also helps distinguish Hemis from Buddhist festivals such as Vesak, which the source associates with Buddha.
According to the book, option (c), Guru Padmasambhava, is correct.

सही उत्तर गुरु पद्मसंभव है। स्रोत के अनुसार Hemis Festival Guru Padmasambhava की birth anniversary को commemorate करने के लिए मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक यह भी बताती है कि उनके नाम का English meaning 'precious master' है और festival मुख्य रूप से Union Territory of Ladakh में मनाया जाता है। इसलिए complete source-supported association है: Hemis Tsechu/Hemis Festival — Guru Padmasambhava — Birth Anniversary — 'Precious Master' — Ladakh। Competitive examinations के लिए यह festival-personality-location combination बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। Future question में पूछा जा सकता है कि Hemis Festival कहाँ मनाया जाता है, किसकी जयंती से संबंधित है, या source के अनुसार Padmasambhava का meaning क्या है। Dalai Lama, Gautama Buddha और Adi Shankaracharya सभी महत्वपूर्ण religious personalities हैं, इसलिए वे strong distractors हैं। Source वर्तमान administrative terminology 'Union Territory of Ladakh' का प्रयोग करता है, इसलिए उसे preserve किया गया है। पुस्तक इस particular explanation में monastery, month, duration या rituals नहीं बताती, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick memory chain रखें: Hemis Festival — Ladakh — Guru Padmasambhava — Birth Anniversary — Precious Master। इसे Vesak जैसे Buddhist festivals से अलग रखें, जिसे source Buddha से जोड़ता है। इसलिए विकल्प (c), गुरु पद्मसंभव, सही उत्तर है।
