For how many days is Gangaur celebrated after Holi in Rajasthan?

Explanation

Gangaur's duration is fixed by the Chaitra calendar span, not by a short fair schedule. It starts on the day after Holi, Chaitra Krishna Pratipada, and closes on Chaitra Shukla Tritiya, making it an 18-day observance. Rajasthan Tourism's Gangaur entry says the worship starts from the first day of Chaitra and culminates on the 18th day into the Gangaur festival. In Rajasthan's fair-and-festival calendar, Gangaur's correct duration is 18 days after Holi. For RAS, the exam-relevant point is the precise duration, with Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur remembered as places where the celebrations are especially elaborate.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Seven days is too short because the festival runs from the day after Holi up to Chaitra Shukla Tritiya, a span counted as 18 days.
• (C) Ten days breaks the Chaitra calendar sequence and does not match Rajasthan Tourism's 18-day culmination point.
• (D) Three days reduces Gangaur to a brief event, whereas the established observance after Holi continues for 18 days.

Concept

Rajasthan's fair-and-festival calendar belongs to History, Art and Culture. RAS repeats such items because durations, lunar dates and major celebration centres are high-yield factual markers.
