Maharana Pratap's famous horse was named:

Explanation

Maharana Pratap's legendary horse was Chetak. Rajasthan Tourism describes the Pratap Memorial at Moti Magri as showing Maharana Pratap on his favourite horse Chetak, and calls Chetak a faithful charger who stood by his master until its last breath. This supports the standard RAS fact: in the Battle of Haldighati in 1576, Chetak carried the wounded Maharana to safety, leapt across a stream, and then succumbed to its injuries. The Haldighati association also explains why Chetak is not treated as a minor biographical detail but as part of Rajasthan's memory of Pratap's resistance, loyalty, and battlefield escape.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Ashwamedha refers to a Vedic ritual, so it does not name Maharana Pratap's horse.
• (C) Kanthak is associated with Siddhartha Gautama, not with Maharana Pratap or the Battle of Haldighati.
• (D) Badal is not Pratap's horse; the supported name is Chetak.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan History and Culture through the memory of Maharana Pratap and the Battle of Haldighati. It recurs in RAS because Pratap, Mewar, Haldighati, and Chetak are standard identity markers in Rajasthan's historical tradition.
