Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Jamshedi Navroz.
According to the source, Jamshedi Navroz is a festival of Zoroastrian origin that marks the day of the vernal equinox in March every year and is celebrated by Parsis in India.
The book further states that it is also known as the Parsi New Year and describes Zoroastrianism as a monotheistic religion followed by Parsis around the world.
This question should be linked with the earlier Navroz PYQ in the book, where Parsi New Year was identified as Navroz and the alternative expression Jamshed-i-Nowruz was also supplied.
Together, these questions establish a repeated high-frequency association: Navroz
Jamshedi Navroz — Parsi community — Zoroastrian origin — New Year — March
vernal equinox according to this source.
The term 'vernal equinox' is particularly important because it distinguishes this question from many other calendar-based festivals.
Frawardigan, Khordad Sal and Pateti are presented as distractors in this PYQ, and the source does not explain them further in this entry.
Students should therefore rely on the explicit Jamshedi Navroz association rather than guessing based only on Parsi terminology.
This is another example of how SSC may ask the same underlying cultural fact using a festival's name, community, religious origin, season or astronomical event.
The source does not provide a specific March date here.
For revision, remember: Jamshedi Navroz — Zoroastrian origin — Parsis — Parsi New Year — March — vernal equinox.
Therefore option (c), Jamshedi Navroz, is correct.

सही उत्तर Jamshedi Navroz है। स्रोत के अनुसार Jamshedi Navroz Zoroastrian origin का festival है, जो प्रत्येक वर्ष March में vernal equinox अर्थात वसंत विषुव के दिन को mark करता है और भारत में Parsis द्वारा मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक इसे Parsi New Year भी बताती है और Zoroastrianism को monotheistic religion के रूप में describe करती है, जिसे दुनिया भर में Parsis follow करते हैं। इस question को book के earlier Navroz PYQ के साथ revise करना चाहिए, जहां Parsi New Year को Navroz कहा गया था और Jamshed-i-Nowruz alternative expression भी दिया गया था। दोनों questions मिलकर एक repeated high-frequency association बनाते हैं: Navroz/Jamshedi Navroz — Parsi Community — Zoroastrian Origin — New Year — March/Vernal Equinox। 'Vernal Equinox' phrase विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यह इस festival को अन्य calendar-based celebrations से अलग पहचानने में मदद करता है। Frawardigan, Khordad Sal और Pateti original PYQ में distractors हैं और source इस entry में उनके बारे में additional explanation नहीं देती। इसलिए answer Parsi-sounding term देखकर guess नहीं करना चाहिए; source का explicit association याद रखें। SSC इसी fact को festival name, community, religion, month या astronomical event के आधार पर पूछ सकता है। Source exact March date नहीं देती। Quick revision chain: Jamshedi Navroz — Zoroastrian Origin — Parsis — Parsi New Year — March — Vernal Equinox। इसलिए विकल्प (c), Jamshedi Navroz, सही उत्तर है।
