B. Losar FestivalB. लोसर त्योहार

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Losar Festival.
According to the source, Losar is celebrated on the first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar and is also called the Tibetan New Year.
The book further identifies Losar as a festival of Tibetan Buddhism.
Therefore the central examination association is Losar — Tibetan New Year — first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar — Tibetan Buddhism.
This is particularly useful because the preceding questions in the book discuss Saga Dawa, another important Buddhist observance.
Students should clearly distinguish the two.
Saga Dawa is described by the source as a major Buddhist festival associated with the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Buddha, whereas Losar marks the Tibetan New Year.
The other options, Shoton and Ongkor, are included as distractors in the original question and the source does not provide further information about them in this explanation.
Questions about calendars are common in Static GK because festivals can be tested by religion, region, season, date or calendar system.
Here, the phrase 'first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar' is a useful identifying clue.
Students should therefore not merely memorise Losar as a Tibetan festival; they should associate it specifically with the beginning of the Tibetan New Year.
The source does not provide an exact Gregorian date, duration, rituals or geographical location in this entry, so those details have not been added as source-derived facts.
Quick revision chain: Losar — Tibetan Buddhism — Tibetan New Year — first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar.
Therefore option (b), Losar Festival, is correct.

सही उत्तर Losar Festival है। स्रोत के अनुसार Losar lunisolar Tibetan calendar के first day पर मनाया जाता है और इसे Tibetan New Year भी कहा जाता है। पुस्तक आगे Losar को Tibetan Buddhism का festival बताती है। इसलिए मुख्य examination association है: Losar — Tibetan New Year — First Day of Lunisolar Tibetan Calendar — Tibetan Buddhism। यह distinction विशेष रूप से important है क्योंकि इससे पहले book में Saga Dawa के questions दिए गए हैं। दोनों Buddhist traditions से जुड़े होने के कारण students इन्हें confuse कर सकते हैं। Source Saga Dawa को Buddha के birth, enlightenment और parinirvana से संबंधित major Buddhist festival बताता है, जबकि Losar Tibetan New Year की शुरुआत को mark करता है। Shoton और Ongkor original question में distractors हैं और source इस explanation में उनके बारे में additional information नहीं देता। Competitive examinations में festivals को calendar system, religion, state, season या date से जोड़कर questions पूछे जाते हैं। यहां 'first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar' सबसे महत्वपूर्ण identifying clue है। इसलिए केवल Losar को Tibetan festival के रूप में याद करना पर्याप्त नहीं है; इसे specifically Tibetan New Year से जोड़ना चाहिए। Source exact Gregorian date, duration, rituals या geographical location नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Losar — Tibetan Buddhism — Tibetan New Year — First Day of Lunisolar Tibetan Calendar। इसलिए विकल्प (b), Losar Festival, सही उत्तर है।
