    Question

    The ‘Hanukkah’ celebration is associated with which of the following communities?

    A.

    Buddhist

    B.

    Jain

    C.

    Jewish

    D.

    Parsi

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is(c) Jewish
    Explanation:
    Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a Jewish holiday celebrated for eight days and nights.
    It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire.
    A central tradition involves lighting the menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum, where one candle is lit each night using the central candle called the shamash.
    Information booster:
    · Buddhist: Buddhists celebrate festivals like Vesak (Buddha's Birthday) and Losar (Tibetan New Year).
    · Jain: Jains observe festivals like Mahavir Jayanti (birth of Mahavira) and Paryushana, focused on spiritual reflection and penance.
    · Parsi: Parsis (Zoroastrians) celebrate festivals like Navroz (Persian New Year) and Khordad Sal, the birthday of Prophet Zarathustra. Hanukkah is unrelated to Zoroastrian traditions.
