Jon Beel Mela is held every year in which of the following states?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Assam.

The Jon Beel Mela is a traditional fair celebrated near Jagiroad in the Morigaon district of Assam. It is one of the few fairs in India where the ancient barter system is still practised. Local tribes and communities, such as the Tiwa (Lalung) people, exchange goods instead of using money. The mela also includes cultural events and community gatherings, symbolising unity and traditional harmony. Hence, the correct answer is Assam.
