Question

Which of the following combinations of the States and the festivals mainly celebrated there is not correct? 

A.

Uttar Pradesh - Krishna Janmashtami 

B.

.Maharashtra - Ganesh Chaturthi

C.

Gujarat - Durga Puja

D.

.Rajasthan - Gangaur

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:(c) Gujarat - Durga Puja

Explanation:
While Durga Puja is widely celebrated in many parts of India, it is predominantly associated with West Bengal and the eastern states of India, rather than Gujarat. In Gujarat, the Navratri festival holds much more prominence, and during this period, Durga is worshiped, but the festival is centered around dance forms like Garba and Dandiya. Thus, the combination of Gujarat - Durga Puja is incorrect.

Information Booster:

  • Krishna Janmashtami in Uttar Pradesh celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna and is a major festival, especially in places like Mathura and Vrindavan.

  • Ganesh Chaturthi is a grand celebration in Maharashtra, where people bring home idols of Lord Ganesha and immerse them in water, marking the beginning of the festival with great fanfare.

  • Gangaur is a prominent festival in Rajasthan, dedicated to Goddess Gauri. It is especially popular in Jaipur and other parts of Rajasthan, celebrated with processions and rituals.

  • Navratri is the major festival in Gujarat, with Garba and Dandiya being the most famous cultural activities during this festival, where people worship Goddess Durga.
