RAS question

Pabuji ki Phad scroll is typically how long?

Correct answer: (D) 15 feet.

Pabuji ki Phad is typically about 15 feet long.

  1. (A)

    30 feet

  2. (B)

    50 feet

  3. (C)

    5 feet

  4. (D)

    15 feet

Explanation

Pabuji ki Phad belongs to Rajasthan's Phad scroll-painting tradition, where the painted cloth carries episodes from folk-hero narratives. Rajasthan Tourism describes a typical Phad as a long rectangular cloth, between 15 and 30 feet in length, illustrating the life and heroic exploits of Pabuji and Devnarayan. Pabuji ki Phad is about 15 feet long, while Devnarayan ki Phad is about 30 feet long. The lower end of the 15-to-30-foot range corresponds to Pabuji, making 15 feet the required answer.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 30 feet matches the length associated with Devnarayan ki Phad, not Pabuji ki Phad.
  • (B) 50 feet is outside the 15-to-30-foot range given by Rajasthan Tourism for a typical Phad.
  • (C) 5 feet is too short because Rajasthan Tourism describes a typical Phad as a long cloth between 15 and 30 feet.

Concept

RAS art-and-culture preparation requires factual recall within Rajasthan's folk painting and performance traditions. Dimensions of Phad paintings, especially Pabuji and Devnarayan traditions, are standard Rajasthan art-and-culture markers.
