(b) 2 and 3 only

(c) 1 and 3 only

(d) None of the above


Answer: (a)

Explanation:

  • Chaliha Sahib is a Sindhi festival dedicated to Jhulelal. Therefore, pair 1 is correct.
  • Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a festival associated with Nanda Devi in Uttarakhand. However, Gonds, a tribal group, are not native to this state. Therefore, pair 2 is not correct.
  • Wari-Warkari is a pilgrimage undertaken by the Warkari sect in Maharashtra, specifically related to the deity Vithoba in Pandharpur. It is part of the Bhakti movement rather than being a festival associated with a particular tribal group. Additionally, Santhals are not native to Maharashtra. Therefore, pair 3 is not correct.

Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
