C. Ambubachi MelaC. अंबुबाची मेला

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Ambubachi Mela.
According to the source, Ambubachi Mela is one of the biggest congregations of Eastern India and is the most important festival of Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam.
It is celebrated in June every year.
The question identifies it by the title 'Mahakumbh of the East'.
The source further explains that 'Ambubachi' means 'spoken with water' and states that the rains expected during this month make the earth fertile and ready for procreation.
Therefore this question adds several useful facts to the earlier Ambubachi questions in the book.
The complete source-based revision chain is: Ambubachi Mela — Mahakumbh of the East — Kamakhya Temple — Guwahati — Assam — June — one of the biggest congregations of Eastern India — source meaning 'spoken with water' — rains and fertility of the earth.
Earlier PYQs in the same book also identify Ambubachi as an annual Hindu mela held at Kamakhya Temple during the monsoon season.
The repeated appearance of this festival indicates that it is a high-frequency SSC Static GK topic.
Hornbill Festival, Moatsu Mong and Bihu Festival are distractors; the specific title in this question belongs to Ambubachi Mela according to the source.
Students should particularly remember Kamakhya Temple because temple-festival matching is frequently tested.
Quick revision: Ambubachi — Assam — Guwahati — Kamakhya — June — Mahakumbh of the East.
Therefore option (c), Ambubachi Mela, is correct.

सही उत्तर अंबुबाची मेला है। स्रोत के अनुसार Ambubachi Mela Eastern India के सबसे बड़े congregations में से एक है और Guwahati, Assam के Kamakhya Temple का सबसे important festival है। इसे प्रत्येक वर्ष June में मनाया जाता है। Question इसे 'Mahakumbh of the East' के title से identify करता है। Source आगे बताती है कि 'Ambubachi' का meaning 'spoken with water' है और इस month में expected rains earth को fertile तथा procreation के लिए ready बनाती हैं। इसलिए यह question book में पहले आए Ambubachi questions में कई additional facts जोड़ता है। Complete source-based revision chain है: Ambubachi Mela — Mahakumbh of the East — Kamakhya Temple — Guwahati — Assam — June — Eastern India का बड़ा Congregation — 'Spoken with Water' — Rain और Fertility of Earth। Book के earlier PYQs में भी Ambubachi को Kamakhya Temple में आयोजित annual Hindu mela और monsoon season से जोड़ा गया है। इसका repeated appearance बताता है कि यह high-frequency SSC Static GK topic है। Hornbill Festival, Moatsu Mong और Bihu Festival distractors हैं; source के अनुसार 'Mahakumbh of the East' Ambubachi Mela है। Kamakhya Temple association विशेष रूप से याद रखें क्योंकि temple-festival matching competitive exams में frequently पूछा जाता है। Quick revision: Ambubachi — Assam — Guwahati — Kamakhya Temple — June — Mahakumbh of the East। इसलिए विकल्प (c), Ambubachi Mela, सही उत्तर है।
