Correct answer: (D) 15 feet.
Pabuji ki Phad is typically about 15 feet long.
Explanation
Pabuji ki Phad is part of Rajasthan's Phad scroll-painting tradition. In this tradition, episodes from the lives and heroic deeds of folk heroes are painted on long rectangular cloth scrolls. Rajasthan Tourism describes a typical Phad as 15 to 30 feet long. Pabuji ki Phad is about 15 feet long, whereas Devnarayan ki Phad is about 30 feet long. Therefore, 15 feet is the correct answer for Pabuji ki Phad.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 30 feet is the length associated with Devnarayan ki Phad, not Pabuji ki Phad.
- (B) A typical Phad is 15 to 30 feet long, so 50 feet is too long.
- (C) A typical Phad is 15 to 30 feet long, so 5 feet is too short.
Concept
