Songs and Music practice question for SSC. Review the correct answer and explanation, then continue with related practice below.
The folk music form 'Pandavani' is primarily associated with which Indian state?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. ChhattisgarhA. छत्तीसगढ़
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Chhattisgarh.
According to the source, Pandavani is a folk singing style associated with Chhattisgarh.
The book explains that the form narrates stories connected with the Pandavas.
Thus, the most important source-supported chain is: Pandavani — Chhattisgarh — folk singing
narrative tradition — stories of the Pandavas.
This question is useful because Pandavani may be tested either as a state-specific folk form or through its narrative subject.
Students should therefore associate the word 'Pandavani' directly with the Pandavas and Chhattisgarh.
The source's explanation is particularly valuable for distinguishing Pandavani from Mando, which the preceding questions associate with Goa, and from other regional musical forms discussed in the chapter.
Goa, Punjab and Gujarat are distractors here.
The book's printed solution identifies Chhattisgarh.
In competitive examinations, Pandavani is a high-value cultural term because questions can be framed by state, narrative theme or folk-music category.
The source does not provide a detailed history of Pandavani, a list of performers, its sub-styles or specific instruments in this particular explanation.
Those facts should therefore not be inserted as though they were derived from this book entry.
The safest revision method is to create a direct memory chain: Pandavani → Pandavas → Folk Narrative
Singing → Chhattisgarh.
This also prevents confusion with unrelated folk songs whose names do not immediately reveal their subject.
Quick revision: Pandavani — Chhattisgarh — Folk Singing Tradition — Narration of Pandava Stories.
Therefore option (a), Chhattisgarh, is correct.
सही उत्तर छत्तीसगढ़ है। स्रोत के अनुसार Pandavani Chhattisgarh से संबंधित एक folk singing style है। Book बताती है कि इस musical/narrative form में Pandavas से संबंधित stories का narration किया जाता है। इसलिए सबसे important source-supported chain है: Pandavani — Chhattisgarh — Folk Singing/Narrative Tradition — Stories of the Pandavas। यह question useful है क्योंकि Pandavani को state-specific folk form के रूप में भी पूछा जा सकता है और उसके narrative subject के आधार पर भी। इसलिए Pandavani शब्द को सीधे Pandavas और Chhattisgarh के साथ associate करें। यह association इसे nearby questions के Mando — Goa तथा अन्य regional musical forms से अलग रखने में मदद करेगा। Goa, Punjab और Gujarat इस question में distractors हैं। Book की printed solution Chhattisgarh को identify करती है। Competitive examinations में Pandavani important cultural term है क्योंकि question state, folk-music category या narrative theme में से किसी भी आधार पर बनाया जा सकता है। Source इस particular explanation में Pandavani की detailed history, performers की list, sub-styles या specific instruments की जानकारी नहीं देती। इसलिए ऐसी details को book-derived facts की तरह नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Easy memory chain बनाएं: Pandavani → Pandavas → Folk Narrative/Singing → Chhattisgarh। इससे अन्य folk songs के साथ confusion कम होगा। Quick revision: Pandavani — Chhattisgarh — Folk Singing Tradition — Pandava Stories का Narration। इसलिए विकल्प (a), छत्तीसगढ़, सही उत्तर है।
