Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. SikkimB. सिक्किम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Sikkim.
According to the source, Sakewa is a religious festival celebrated by the Kirat Khambu Rai community of Sikkim.
The book additionally states that the festival is also known as Bhoomi Pooja or Chandi Puja and describes it as a form of worship of Mother Earth.
These details make the question useful for several types of competitive-examination questions.
The direct state-festival association is Sakewa — Sikkim, while the community association is Sakewa — Kirat Khambu Rai.
Students should also remember its alternative names: Bhoomi Pooja and Chandi Puja.
Since the source relates the observance to Mother Earth, the festival can also be remembered through the theme of reverence for land and nature.
North-Eastern India has a very large number of community-specific festivals, and SSC frequently asks candidates to match a festival with a state, tribe or community.
Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Nagaland are therefore strong distractors because all three are North-Eastern states with distinctive indigenous traditions.
However, the source explicitly identifies Sikkim.
A useful revision method is to build a four-part association: festival — state — community — alternate name.
In this case: Sakewa — Sikkim — Kirat Khambu Rai — Bhoomi Pooja
Chandi Puja.
The source does not provide the exact month, duration, rituals or historical origin of the festival in this entry, so those details should not be treated as book-derived facts.
Therefore option (b), Sikkim, is correct.
सही उत्तर सिक्किम है। स्रोत के अनुसार Sakewa एक धार्मिक त्योहार है जिसे Sikkim के Kirat Khambu Rai community द्वारा मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक इस festival के दो अन्य नाम भी देती है—Bhoomi Pooja और Chandi Puja—और इसे Mother Earth अर्थात धरती माता की पूजा से जोड़ती है। इसलिए यह question केवल state-festival matching तक सीमित नहीं है; इससे community और alternative-name based questions भी तैयार किए जा सकते हैं। मुख्य association है: Sakewa — Sikkim। दूसरा महत्वपूर्ण association है: Sakewa — Kirat Khambu Rai Community। इसके साथ Bhoomi Pooja और Chandi Puja नाम भी याद रखें। Source इसे Mother Earth की पूजा से जोड़ती है, इसलिए festival का nature और land से संबंधित cultural theme भी याद रखने में मदद करेगा। North-East India में अनेक community-specific festivals होते हैं और SSC में festival को tribe, state या community से match करने वाले questions बहुत common हैं। Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya और Nagaland इसी कारण strong distractors हैं, क्योंकि इन राज्यों की भी समृद्ध indigenous traditions हैं। लेकिन source स्पष्ट रूप से Sikkim को सही उत्तर देता है। Revision के लिए चार-part chain बनाएं: Festival — State — Community — Alternate Names। यहां chain है: Sakewa — Sikkim — Kirat Khambu Rai — Bhoomi Pooja/Chandi Puja। Source इस entry में exact month, duration, detailed rituals या historical origin की जानकारी नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। अतः विकल्प (b), सिक्किम, सही उत्तर है।
