Jainism

B.

Islam

C.

Buddhism

D.

Hinduism

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Buddhism.
The Hemis Festival is heavily influenced by Buddhism.
It is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Tibetan Buddhists in India and across the Himalayas.
The festival commemorates the birth anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism who is credited with spreading the religion to the region.
During this festive season, Lamas called 'chhams,' perform masked dances and sacred plays to the accompaniment of cymbals, drums, and longhorns. The head lama presides over the function.
The festival takes an auspicious turn every 12 years in the Tibetan Year of the Monkey when the two-storey-high Thanka depicting Padmasambhava is displayed.
