In which state of India is the harvest festival of 'Kailpodh' celebrated by an indigenous community?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. KarnatakaD. कर्नाटक
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Karnataka.
According to the source, Kailpodh, written as 'Kalipodh' in the explanation, is an indigenous harvest festival of Coorg in Karnataka.
Therefore, the direct examination association is Kailpodh
Kalipodh — Coorg — Karnataka — indigenous harvest festival.
This is an especially useful Static GK combination because it links a festival not only with a state but also with a specific geographical and cultural region mentioned in the book.
Students should remember Coorg together with Karnataka, because the source does not merely say that the festival is celebrated somewhere in the state; it specifically identifies it with Coorg.
The wording of the question also provides another important clue: it is a harvest festival celebrated by an indigenous community.
SSC frequently asks such cultural questions by mixing state, community and festival information.
Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand also possess significant indigenous and tribal cultural traditions, making them plausible distractors.
However, according to the source, the required association is Karnataka.
There is a spelling variation within the source itself: the question prints 'Kailpodh', while the explanation prints 'Kalipodh'.
Both have been retained conceptually as referring to the same festival in the book's context.
No attempt has been made to silently standardise the spelling beyond what is necessary for a clean question.
The source does not give a date, tribe name, agricultural crop, ritual or duration.
For revision, remember: Kailpodh
Kalipodh — indigenous harvest festival — Coorg — Karnataka.
Hence option (d), Karnataka, is correct.
सही उत्तर कर्नाटक है। स्रोत के अनुसार Kailpodh, जिसे explanation में 'Kalipodh' लिखा गया है, Karnataka के Coorg क्षेत्र का indigenous harvest festival है। इसलिए मुख्य exam association है: Kailpodh/Kalipodh — Coorg — Karnataka — Indigenous Harvest Festival। यह Static GK के लिए विशेष रूप से उपयोगी है क्योंकि source festival को केवल state से नहीं, बल्कि एक specific geographical और cultural region यानी Coorg से भी जोड़ता है। इसलिए Coorg और Karnataka को साथ याद रखना चाहिए। Question की wording भी महत्वपूर्ण clue देती है कि यह किसी indigenous community द्वारा मनाया जाने वाला harvest festival है। SSC में ऐसे cultural questions अक्सर festival, state, community और agricultural context को mix करके पूछे जाते हैं। Odisha, Madhya Pradesh और Jharkhand की भी महत्वपूर्ण indigenous तथा tribal traditions हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं। लेकिन source के अनुसार सही association Karnataka है। पुस्तक में spelling variation भी दिखाई देती है: question में 'Kailpodh' है जबकि explanation में 'Kalipodh' लिखा है। दोनों को source context में एक ही festival माना गया है और बिना verification के कोई अलग spelling silently impose नहीं की गई है। Source इस entry में exact date, tribe name, crop, rituals या duration की जानकारी नहीं देता। इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision chain रखें: Kailpodh/Kalipodh — Indigenous Harvest Festival — Coorg — Karnataka। इसलिए विकल्प (d), Karnataka, सही उत्तर है।
