Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. KiranaC. किराना
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Kirana Gharana.
According to the source, Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi was a legendary Indian vocalist in the Hindustani classical tradition.
He was trained under Sawai Gandharva and was known as the 'living superstar of the Kirana Gharana'.
Therefore, three source-supported associations should be memorised together: Pandit Bhimsen Joshi — Hindustani classical vocalist — Kirana Gharana — trained under Sawai Gandharva.
Competitive examinations frequently ask prominent musicians together with their instruments, musical traditions, gurus or gharanas.
Consequently, merely remembering that Bhimsen Joshi was a classical singer is not enough for this PYQ.
The key identifying information is Kirana Gharana.
The source also gives his fuller name as Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi, which can be useful in identifying him in another question.
Etawah, Malhar and Dhrupad are presented as alternative options, but the source specifically identifies Kirana.
Students should be careful not to mix a gharana with a musical style or other musical terminology simply because all the options sound related to classical music.
The teacher-disciple association is also worth remembering: Bhimsen Joshi — Sawai Gandharva.
This fact may appear independently in another objective question.
The source does not provide details of his awards, famous compositions, birthplace or career chronology in this explanation, so those have not been inserted as source-derived information.
Quick revision: Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi — legendary Hindustani classical vocalist — disciple of Sawai Gandharva — Kirana Gharana.
Therefore option (c), Kirana, is correct.
सही उत्तर किराना घराना है। स्रोत के अनुसार Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi Hindustani Classical tradition के legendary Indian vocalist थे। उन्होंने Sawai Gandharva के under training प्राप्त की थी और उन्हें 'living superstar of the Kirana Gharana' कहा गया है। इसलिए तीन important source-supported associations को एक साथ याद करना चाहिए: Pandit Bhimsen Joshi — Hindustani Classical Vocalist — Kirana Gharana — Trained under Sawai Gandharva। Competitive examinations में famous musicians को उनके instrument, musical tradition, guru या gharana के साथ match करने वाले questions frequently पूछे जाते हैं। इसलिए केवल यह याद रखना कि Bhimsen Joshi classical singer थे, पर्याप्त नहीं है। इस PYQ का key fact Kirana Gharana है। Source उनका fuller name Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi भी देती है। Etawah, Malhar और Dhrupad options में दिए गए हैं, लेकिन source specifically Kirana को identify करती है। Students को gharana और musical style जैसी terms में confusion नहीं करना चाहिए, क्योंकि options intentionally similar musical terminology का उपयोग करते हैं। Guru-disciple association भी important है: Bhimsen Joshi — Sawai Gandharva। Future objective question में यह independently पूछा जा सकता है। Source इस explanation में उनके awards, famous compositions, birthplace या career chronology की details नहीं देती, इसलिए उन्हें source-derived information के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi — Hindustani Classical Vocalist — Sawai Gandharva — Kirana Gharana। इसलिए विकल्प (c), किराना, सही उत्तर है।
