'Khuang' is a traditional musical instrument of which state?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mizoram.

The Khuang is a traditional bamboo musical instrument of Mizoram. It is a type of mouth organ used in Mizo folk music, producing harmonious sounds by blowing air through bamboo pipes.

Other Options:

  1. Assam – Known for instruments like the Bihu dhol (drum) and Pepa (horn), but not the Khuang.

  2. Jharkhand – Traditional instruments include the Mandar (drum) and Banam (string instrument), not the Khuang.

  3. West Bengal – Famous for the Ektara (one-string instrument) and Dotara, not the Khuang.

Thus, the correct answer is Mizoram, where the Khuang holds cultural significance in festivals and folk performances.
