In which of the following Indian states is the Lai Haraoba Festival celebrated?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. ManipurC. मणिपुर
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Manipur.
According to the source, Lai Haraoba is a ritualistic festival of the Meiteis and has been observed since ancient times.
The book states that it mirrors the entire culture of Manipur and depicts close affinities between the hill and plain people.
It is described as a combination of religious recitations, traditional music and dance, traditional social values and ancient cultural aspects.
These details make the question particularly valuable for Indian Art and Culture preparation.
The direct association is Lai Haraoba — Manipur — Meitei community — ritualistic festival.
However, the explanation also shows that the festival is presented by the source as a broad representation of Manipur's culture.
Therefore students should remember the wider source chain: Lai Haraoba — Meiteis — Manipur — ancient observance — religious recitations — traditional music and dance — social values — ancient cultural aspects — connection between hill and plain people.
This question appears immediately after another Lai Haraoba question, so the book reinforces the same cultural fact in two different forms: first through meaning and mythology, then through state and community.
Goa, Karnataka and Kerala have their own major ritual traditions, but they are not the intended answer here.
The source does not provide exact dates or duration.
For source-based revision, focus on the Manipur-Meitei association and the cultural components listed in the explanation.
Therefore option (c), Manipur, is correct.
सही उत्तर मणिपुर है। स्रोत के अनुसार Lai Haraoba Meitei community का एक ritualistic festival है और इसे ancient times से observed किया जाता रहा है। पुस्तक बताती है कि यह Manipur की पूरी culture को mirror करता है और hill तथा plain people के बीच close affinities को दर्शाता है। Source इसे religious recitations, traditional music and dance, traditional social values तथा ancient cultural aspects का combination बताता है। इसलिए यह question Indian Art and Culture preparation के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। Direct association है: Lai Haraoba — Manipur — Meiteis — Ritualistic Festival। लेकिन source explanation इससे भी आगे जाकर festival को Manipur की broader culture का representation बताती है। इसलिए पूरा chain याद रखें: Lai Haraoba — Meiteis — Manipur — Ancient Observance — Religious Recitations — Traditional Music and Dance — Social Values — Ancient Cultural Aspects — Hill and Plain People के बीच Cultural Affinity। यह question पिछले Lai Haraoba question के तुरंत बाद आता है, इसलिए book same cultural fact को दो angles से reinforce करती है—पहले meaning और creation belief, फिर state और community। Goa, Karnataka और Kerala की भी अपनी ritual traditions हैं, लेकिन source इस festival को Manipur से जोड़ता है। Book exact dates या duration नहीं देती। इसलिए source-based revision में Manipur-Meitei association और explanation में दिए cultural elements पर focus करें। इसलिए विकल्प (c), मणिपुर, सही उत्तर है।
