RAS question
Jeen Mata Temple is in which district?
Correct answer: (B) Sikar (Rewasa).
Jeen Mata Temple is situated near Rewasa in Sikar district of Rajasthan.
Explanation
Jeen Mata Temple belongs to Sikar district: the Rajasthan Foundation's Sikar PDF places Jeenmata near the hill, 10 km from Rewasa, in Sikar district, and identifies its main attraction as an ancient temple dedicated to Jeen Mata, the Goddess of Power. Therefore, Sikar (Rewasa) is the correct location. The temple is also treated as one of Rajasthan's important Shakti Peeths, which is why the district-location detail matters in art-and-culture questions: the examiner is testing whether the candidate can connect a well-known goddess shrine with its local geography, not merely recognise the temple name.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jodhpur is wrong because the Rajasthan Foundation's Sikar PDF locates Jeenmata near Rewasa in Sikar district, not in Jodhpur.
- (C) Jaipur is wrong because Jeen Mata Temple is tied to Sikar district and the Rewasa area, not Jaipur district.
- (D) Udaipur is wrong because Jeen Mata Temple is a Sikar district shrine, not an Udaipur district site.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan art-and-culture geography: matching major folk and goddess shrines with their districts. Such temple-location facts recur in RAS because they connect religious culture, local identity and district-level Rajasthan knowledge.
