Correct Answerसही उत्तर

D. TelanganaD. तेलंगाना

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Telangana.
According to the source, Bathukamma and Bonalu are state festivals of Telangana.
The book also supplies an important political-geography fact in its explanation: Telangana was separated from Andhra Pradesh and was declared a full-fledged state on 2 June 2014.
Therefore this question combines cultural Static GK with the formation of an Indian state.
The direct festival association is Bathukamma — Telangana and Bonalu — Telangana.
Students should remember both together because the question deliberately presents them as a pair.
The additional source-supported revision chain is: Telangana — separated from Andhra Pradesh — full-fledged state — 2 June 2014.
This information may be useful in questions on state formation as well as festivals.
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are other southern Indian states with major regional festivals and therefore serve as plausible distractors.
However, the source explicitly identifies Telangana.
Since the question asks about 'state festivals', students should preserve that exact framing rather than remembering them merely as festivals celebrated somewhere in Telangana.
The source explanation does not provide the months, deities, rituals, historical origin or individual significance of Bathukamma and Bonalu.
Those details should therefore not be added as though they were supported by this book entry.
For exam revision, remember the compact chain: Bathukamma + Bonalu — State Festivals of Telangana — Telangana separated from Andhra Pradesh — statehood on 2 June 2014.
This one question can therefore support both culture and political-geography revision.
According to the source, option (d), Telangana, is correct.

सही उत्तर तेलंगाना है। स्रोत के अनुसार Bathukamma और Bonalu Telangana के state festivals हैं। Book अपनी explanation में एक important political-geography fact भी देती है: Telangana Andhra Pradesh से अलग हुआ और 2 June 2014 को full-fledged state घोषित किया गया। इसलिए यह question cultural Static GK के साथ Indian state formation का भी revision कराता है। Direct festival association है: Bathukamma — Telangana और Bonalu — Telangana। दोनों को pair में याद रखना चाहिए क्योंकि original question इन्हें साथ पूछता है। Additional source-supported revision chain है: Telangana — Andhra Pradesh से Separation — Full-fledged State — 2 June 2014। यह information state formation से जुड़े questions में भी useful हो सकती है। Karnataka, Tamil Nadu और Kerala अन्य southern Indian states हैं जिनकी अपनी major regional festivals हैं, इसलिए वे plausible distractors हैं। लेकिन source स्पष्ट रूप से Telangana को correct answer देता है। Question specifically इन्हें 'state festivals' कहता है, इसलिए यही framing याद रखना बेहतर है, न कि केवल इतना कि ये Telangana में मनाए जाते हैं। Source इस explanation में Bathukamma और Bonalu के months, deities, rituals, historical origin या individual significance नहीं बताता। इसलिए उन details को book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Bathukamma + Bonalu — State Festivals of Telangana — Telangana separated from Andhra Pradesh — Statehood: 2 June 2014। इसलिए विकल्प (d), तेलंगाना, सही उत्तर है।
