Consider the following pairs :
Traditions - Communities
1. Chaliha Sahib Festival - Sindhis
2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra - Gonds
3. Wari-Warkari - Santhals
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
1. Pair 1 is correctly matched. The Chaliha Sahib Festival is a significant 40-day festival observed by the Sindhi community, dedicated to Lord Jhulelal, the patron saint of the Sindhis.
2. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. The Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a major pilgrimage and festival primarily celebrated in the Uttarakhand region, deeply rooted in the local Garhwali and Kumaoni cultures. It is not associated with the Gond community, which predominantly resides in Central India.
3. Pair 3 is incorrectly matched. Wari-Warkari refers to the annual pilgrimage (Wari) undertaken by the Warkari sect (devotees of Lord Vithoba) to Pandharpur in Maharashtra. This is a prominent Maharashtrian tradition and is not associated with the Santhal community, which is one of the largest tribal groups in India found mainly in Eastern India.
4. Therefore, only Pair 1 is correctly matched.
