'Bhagta Parab', a tribal festival celebrated between spring and summer, originated in which state?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. JharkhandA. झारखंड
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Jharkhand.
According to the source, Bhagta Parab is a tribal festival celebrated during the period between spring and summer.
Among the tribal people of Jharkhand, the festival is best known as the worship of Budha Baba.
The book provides several additional details about its observance.
People fast during the day, and the Pahan, or priest, is taken for bathing and then to the tribal temple called Sarana Mandir.
The source also states that the Pahan is sometimes called Laya.
After coming out of the pond, devotees form a chain by locking their thighs with one another and come forward to offer their bare chests for Laya to walk over.
The festival therefore contains religious and community practices that go considerably beyond a simple state-festival association.
The source further states that after worship in the evening, devotees participate in Chhau dance.
The following day includes traditional sports of bravery.
The book specifically notes that Bhagta Parab is more popular in the Tamar region of Jharkhand.
For competitive examination preparation, the most important revision chain is: Bhagta Parab — Jharkhand — tribal festival — spring to summer — worship of Budha Baba — Pahan
Laya — Sarana Mandir — Chhau dance — sports of bravery — Tamar region.
Mizoram, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh have important tribal traditions, but the source associates Bhagta Parab with Jharkhand.
Therefore option (a), Jharkhand, is correct.
सही उत्तर झारखंड है। स्रोत के अनुसार Bhagta Parab एक tribal festival है जो spring और summer के बीच के period में मनाया जाता है। Jharkhand के tribal people के बीच Bhagta Parab को विशेष रूप से Budha Baba की worship के रूप में जाना जाता है। Book इसके celebration से जुड़े कई additional facts देती है। लोग दिन में fast रखते हैं और Pahan अर्थात priest को bathing के लिए ले जाया जाता है तथा इसके बाद tribal temple, जिसे Sarana Mandir कहा गया है, ले जाया जाता है। Source यह भी बताता है कि Pahan को कभी-कभी Laya कहा जाता है। Pond से बाहर आने के बाद devotees अपनी thighs को एक-दूसरे के साथ lock करके chain बनाते हैं और Laya के चलने के लिए अपना bare chest प्रस्तुत करते हैं। Evening worship के बाद devotees Chhau dance में भाग लेते हैं। अगले दिन traditional sports of bravery आयोजित किए जाते हैं। Book विशेष रूप से बताती है कि Bhagta Parab Jharkhand के Tamar region में अधिक popular है। इसलिए competitive examinations के लिए complete revision chain बहुत useful है: Bhagta Parab — Jharkhand — Tribal Festival — Spring to Summer — Budha Baba की Worship — Pahan/Laya — Sarana Mandir — Chhau Dance — Sports of Bravery — Tamar Region। Mizoram, Maharashtra और Madhya Pradesh की भी tribal traditions हैं, लेकिन source Bhagta Parab को Jharkhand से जोड़ता है। इसलिए विकल्प (a), झारखंड, सही उत्तर है।
