RAS question
Mewar Festival is celebrated in:
Correct answer: (C) Udaipur.
The Mewar Festival is celebrated in Udaipur as a spring festival associated with the Mewar region.
Explanation
Mewar Festival is celebrated in Udaipur to welcome the arrival of spring. Rajasthan Tourism's festival entry gives the celebration a distinct identity in Udaipur because the city was the governing place of the Mewar rulers. Rajasthan Tourism also gives the usual exam clues: Udaipur is decorated in vibrant colours, women take part in processions linked with Isar and Gangaur, and the celebration includes dances, songs, cultural events and fireworks. These details make Udaipur the only correct option, not merely because the festival bears the regional name Mewar, but because Rajasthan Tourism places its distinctive celebration in Udaipur.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jodhpur is not supported by the official Rajasthan Tourism entry, which specifically links the Mewar Festival's distinctive celebration with Udaipur.
- (B) Jaipur is not the correct city for this festival; Rajasthan Tourism identifies Udaipur as the place to experience the Mewar Festival.
- (D) Bikaner is not connected to the Mewar Festival in Rajasthan Tourism's entry, while Udaipur is named with the festival's spring celebration and Mewar-ruler context.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's fair-and-festival geography: matching a named cultural festival with its city or region. Such questions recur in RAS because they combine art-culture memory with regional historical identity.
