Analogy — Bihu : Asom (Assam)\nPick the pair that correctly maps a cultural performance or festival to its home state.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Bhangra : Punjab

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The pair “Bihu : Asom (Assam)” associates a well-known festival with its originating Indian state. The correct answer must present a similarly accurate mapping of a dance or cultural form to its authentic regional home.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Bihu is celebrated in Assam.
  • We must verify geographic-cultural correctness for each option.
  • Spelling standardization is applied where needed while preserving intent.


Concept / Approach:
Check each dance or performing form against its state of origin or strongest association. Discard pairings that are mislocated to test attentiveness to Indian cultural geography.


Step-by-Step Solution:

“Bhangra : Punjab” — correct; Bhangra is a vibrant folk dance rooted in Punjab.“Garba : Bengal” — incorrect; Garba is from Gujarat.“Giddha : Gujarat” — incorrect; Giddha is a women’s folk dance of Punjab.“Yakshagana : Bihar” — incorrect; Yakshagana is a classical folk theater of Karnataka.


Verification / Alternative check:
Standard cultural references place Bhangra in Punjab and Garba in Gujarat; Yakshagana belongs to coastal Karnataka; thus only Bhangra : Punjab is accurate.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Garba : Bengal — state mismatch.
  • Giddha : Gujarat — state mismatch.
  • Yakshagana : Bihar — state mismatch.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing similarly popular forms across states or assuming pan-Indian diffusion equals origin.


Final Answer:
Bhangra : Punjab
