(Dance) | (State)
A. Garia | 1. Manipur
B. Garba | 2. Gujarat

D. Thabal Chongba | 4. Tripura

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (A-4, B-2, C-3, D-1). This matching accurately aligns traditional Indian folk dances with their respective states of origin.

  • A-4: Garia is a significant folk dance performed by the Tripuri people of Tripura during the Garia Puja festival to seek blessings for a good harvest.
  • B-2: Garba is a globally recognized ritualistic dance from Gujarat, traditionally performed in concentric circles during the Navratri festival to honor the feminine form of divinity.
  • C-3: Jhummar (or Jhumar) is a lively folk dance popular in Punjab. While different versions exist in other states, it is a staple of Punjabi harvest celebrations, characterized by its rhythmic clapping and footwork.
  • D-1: Thabal Chongba is a traditional folk dance of the Meitei people in Manipur, performed during the Yaoshang festival, where participants dance in a circle holding hands.

Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they misattribute these regional cultural identities, particularly failing to link Garia to Tripura or Thabal Chongba to Manipur.
