Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Gatka is a traditional martial art associated with the Sikh and Punjabi tradition, not Kerala, so pair 1 is incorrect. Madhubani (Mithila) painting is a well-established folk painting tradition of Bihar, making pair 2 correct [1]. The Sindhu Darshan festival is celebrated in Leh in the Ladakh cultural region — historically part of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir — so the festival’s association with J&K (as previously constituted) supports pair 3 as correct [1]. Therefore, pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched, corresponding to option 3.
