RAS question

Kuldevi of Sisodia (Mewar) dynasty is:

Correct answer: (A) Baan Mata.

Baan Mata is the kuldevi of the Sisodia dynasty of Mewar.

  1. (A)

    Baan Mata

  2. (B)

    Karni Mata

  3. (C)

    Nagnechi Mata

  4. (D)

    Shila Devi

Explanation

The dynasty link is the deciding point: Baan Mata is the kuldevi of the Sisodia dynasty of Mewar. Tourister Map describes Shri Baan Mata Ji Temple, located within Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan, as dedicated to Baan Mata, also called Byan Mata, the kuldevi of the Sisodia and Gehlot clans of the Mewar dynasty. Her temple is in Chittorgarh Fort. Baan Mata is the only deity among these names tied to the Sisodia-Mewar kuldevi association.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (B) Karni Mata is associated with the Charan tradition, so she does not fit the Sisodia-Mewar kuldevi association.
  • (C) Nagnechi Mata is linked with the Rathore lineage, which makes her the wrong clan deity for Sisodia Mewar.
  • (D) Shila Devi is associated with the Kachhwaha line, not with the Sisodia dynasty of Mewar.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan History, Art and Culture through dynastic kuldevi associations. It recurs in RAS because such questions depend on exact matching between a dynasty, its deity and a major fort or temple site.
