SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 36

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nicobar.

The Ossuary Festival, also known as Kapan Pishnu, is celebrated by the indigenous Nicobarese community in the Nicobar Islands, part of the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. This traditional festival, often referred to as a “feast for the dead,” involves honoring deceased ancestors through communal gatherings, ceremonial feasts, and tribal dances—particularly on Car Nicobar Island. Embedded deeply in cultural beliefs, the festival strengthens social bonds as the community collectively commemorates and pays tribute to their forebears.
