C. Lai HaraobaC. लाई हरोबा

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Lai Haraoba.
According to the source, Lai Haraoba is a ritual ceremonial festival of Manipur.
The question states that its meaning is 'merry making of the gods'.
The source explanation further says that the festival is believed to be a re-enactment of the creation of the universe by gods and goddesses at the sacred site Haraothel of Koubru Hill.
This provides several important source-supported facts for competitive examinations.
The main chain is: Lai Haraoba — Manipur — ritual ceremonial festival — 'merry making of the gods' — re-enactment of the creation of the universe — gods and goddesses — sacred site Haraothel of Koubru Hill.
The following question in the book again asks the state in which Lai Haraoba is celebrated, showing that this is another repeatedly tested cultural fact.
Diwali, Pongal and Makar Sankranti are major Indian festivals, but the source does not associate them with the phrase given in this question.
Students should therefore use both the literal-meaning clue and the state association to remember Lai Haraoba.
Since the source presents the creation narrative as a belief associated with the festival, it should be preserved as such rather than presented as a historical or scientific statement.
The book does not give the festival's date or duration here.
For revision, remember: Lai Haraoba — Manipur — Merry Making of the Gods — ritual festival — creation re-enactment — Haraothel, Koubru Hill.
Therefore option (c), Lai Haraoba, is correct.

सही उत्तर Lai Haraoba है। स्रोत के अनुसार Lai Haraoba Manipur का एक ritual ceremonial festival है। Question में इसका अर्थ 'merry making of the gods' बताया गया है। Source explanation आगे कहती है कि इस festival को gods और goddesses द्वारा universe की creation के re-enactment के रूप में माना जाता है और यह sacred site Haraothel of Koubru Hill से जुड़ा है। इसलिए इस एक question से कई महत्वपूर्ण source-supported facts मिलते हैं। Main revision chain है: Lai Haraoba — Manipur — Ritual Ceremonial Festival — 'Merry Making of the Gods' — Creation of Universe का Re-enactment — Gods and Goddesses — Haraothel of Koubru Hill। Book का अगला question फिर से Lai Haraoba का state पूछता है, जिससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि यह repeatedly tested cultural fact है। Diwali, Pongal और Makar Sankranti भी major Indian festivals हैं, लेकिन source इन्हें 'merry making of the gods' phrase से नहीं जोड़ता। इसलिए literal meaning और Manipur association दोनों साथ याद करें। Source creation narrative को festival से जुड़ी belief के रूप में बताता है, इसलिए उसे उसी रूप में preserve करना चाहिए, historical या scientific claim की तरह नहीं। Book इस explanation में festival की exact date या duration नहीं देती। Quick revision: Lai Haraoba — Manipur — Merry Making of Gods — Ritual Festival — Creation Re-enactment — Haraothel, Koubru Hill। इसलिए विकल्प (c), Lai Haraoba, सही उत्तर है।
