Which of the following religious groups annually celebrates 'Paryushan Parva' for self-purification and spiritual upliftment?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. JainsA. जैन
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Jains.
According to the source, Paryushan Parva is celebrated every year by members of the Jain community for spiritual upliftment and self-purification.
The book describes it as the most sacred festival of their entire year.
The question itself adds that the observance involves adhering to ten universal virtues in practical life.
For examination preparation, the central association is therefore Paryushan Parva — Jain community — self-purification — spiritual upliftment — ten universal virtues, as framed in the question — most sacred festival of the year according to the source explanation.
This fact has appeared earlier in the same book as well, demonstrating that Paryushan is a recurring SSC Static GK topic.
Repetition is useful because the same festival may be asked through the associated community, its purpose, or its religious significance.
Parsis, Sikhs and Hindus are major religious communities with their own important festivals, so they serve as plausible distractors.
Students should not confuse Paryushan with Navroz, which appears elsewhere in the book in connection with the Parsi community, or Gurpurab, which the source associates with the Sikh community.
The source does not specify the ten virtues by name in this particular question's explanation, nor does it give the duration, dates or sect-specific observances.
Therefore those details have not been added as if supported by the book.
Quick revision chain: Paryushan Parva — Jains — annual sacred festival — spiritual upliftment — self-purification — practical observance of universal virtues.
Thus option (a), Jains, is correct.
सही उत्तर जैन है। स्रोत के अनुसार Paryushan Parva Jain community के सदस्यों द्वारा प्रत्येक वर्ष spiritual upliftment और self-purification के लिए मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक इसे Jain community के पूरे वर्ष का सबसे sacred festival भी बताती है। Question की wording यह अतिरिक्त context देती है कि practical life में ten universal virtues का पालन करते हुए आत्मशुद्धि और उत्थान के लिए यह पर्व मनाया जाता है। इसलिए exam preparation के लिए मुख्य association है: Paryushan Parva — Jain Community — Self-Purification — Spiritual Upliftment — Ten Universal Virtues — Source के अनुसार Year का Most Sacred Festival। यही fact पुस्तक में पहले भी पूछा गया है, जिससे स्पष्ट होता है कि Paryushan SSC Static GK में recurring topic है। Repetition का लाभ यह है कि यही festival कभी community से, कभी purpose से और कभी religious importance से पूछा जा सकता है। Parsis, Sikhs और Hindus सभी बड़े religious communities हैं और उनके अपने महत्वपूर्ण festivals हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं। Paryushan को Navroz से confuse नहीं करना चाहिए, जिसे book Parsi community से जोड़ती है, या Gurpurab से, जिसे Sikh community से जोड़ा गया है। Source इस explanation में ten virtues के individual names, festival duration, exact dates या sect-specific practices नहीं देता। इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Paryushan Parva — Jains — Annual Sacred Festival — Spiritual Upliftment — Self-Purification — Universal Virtues। इसलिए विकल्प (a), Jains, सही उत्तर है।
