Saga Dawa is a festival of which state?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. SikkimA. सिक्किम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Sikkim.
According to the source, Saga Dawa is a month-long festival celebrated in the state of Sikkim.
The book explains that it honours Buddha Sakyamuni and states that his birth, enlightenment and nirvana all took place in the same month.
This gives students an important Buddhist festival-state-personality association: Saga Dawa — Sikkim — month-long festival — Buddha Sakyamuni — birth, enlightenment and nirvana.
The following question in the book again asks the state associated with Saga Dawa and provides a much more detailed explanation, showing that this is another frequently reinforced cultural fact.
For the present PYQ, the source does not provide the Tibetan-calendar meaning of the name or the May-June timing; those appear in Q561 and should be treated as information from the following source question rather than silently merged into this one.
Sikkim is the correct option among Tripura, Manipur and Assam.
All four are eastern or North-Eastern states, which makes the question suitable for testing accurate regional cultural knowledge.
Students should connect Saga Dawa directly with Sikkim and Buddhist tradition.
It is also useful to distinguish it from other Buddhist festivals appearing in the book, such as Vesak and Hemis Festival, each of which has a different source association.
For quick revision of this exact entry: Saga Dawa — Sikkim — month-long festival — honours Buddha Sakyamuni — birth, enlightenment and nirvana.
Therefore option (a), Sikkim, is correct.
सही उत्तर सिक्किम है। स्रोत के अनुसार Saga Dawa Sikkim राज्य में मनाया जाने वाला month-long festival है। पुस्तक बताती है कि यह Buddha Sakyamuni का सम्मान करता है और source के अनुसार उनका birth, enlightenment तथा nirvana एक ही महीने में हुआ था। इसलिए इस question से important Buddhist festival-state-personality association मिलता है: Saga Dawa — Sikkim — Month-long Festival — Buddha Sakyamuni — Birth — Enlightenment — Nirvana। Book का अगला question फिर Saga Dawa का state पूछता है और अधिक detailed explanation देता है, जिससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि source इस cultural fact को reinforce कर रही है। वर्तमान PYQ की explanation Tibetan calendar में नाम का meaning या May-June timing नहीं देती; वे Q561 में आते हैं और उन्हें following source question की information के रूप में पढ़ना चाहिए। Tripura, Manipur और Assam भी eastern/North-Eastern states हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं। Accurate regional cultural knowledge यहां जरूरी है। Saga Dawa को directly Sikkim और Buddhist tradition से जोड़कर याद करें। इसे book में दिए अन्य Buddhist festivals, जैसे Vesak और Hemis Festival, से अलग रखें क्योंकि उनकी source associations अलग हैं। इस exact entry की quick revision chain है: Saga Dawa — Sikkim — Month-long Festival — Buddha Sakyamuni — Birth, Enlightenment and Nirvana। इसलिए विकल्प (a), सिक्किम, सही उत्तर है।
