Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct matching of the festivals with their occasions is as follows: Vallamkali is the traditional boat race of Kerala, famously held during the Onam festival. Pooram festival, specifically the Thrissur Pooram, is a grand temple festival centered at the Vadakkunnathan Temple in Kerala. Chapchar Kut is the most significant spring festival of Mizoram, celebrated after the completion of Jhum cultivation. The Madhavrai fair, held at Madhavpur Ghed near Porbandar, Gujarat, commemorates the mythological marriage of Lord Krishna and Rukmini [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence for A-B-C-D is 2-1-4-3, which corresponds to Option 2. These festivals reflect the diverse cultural and religious fabric of India, ranging from agrarian celebrations to temple-centric rituals and mythological commemorations.
