Which of the following festivals is NOT associated broadly with the Indian state of Jharkhand?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Vishu.
Vishu is not associated broadly with the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a major festival celebrated in Kerala, marking the Malayalam New Year and symbolising prosperity and new beginnings. In contrast, festivals like Sohrai, Sarhul, and Rohini are traditional tribal festivals celebrated widely in Jharkhand, reflecting the agricultural and nature-worship practices of its indigenous communities. Vishu involves rituals like viewing the “Vishukkani” and bursting crackers, which are distinct from the cultural traditions of Jharkhand.
