Saint Lal Das (born Lal Khan Meo) established which religious institution that influenced the socio-religious landscape of Rajasthan?

Explanation

Saint Lal Das, born Lal Khan Meo in 1540 at Dholidup village near Alwar, founded the Laldasi Sampradaya, also called Lalpanth. It was a Rajasthan-based spiritual sect established by Laldas, with teachings centred on devotion, the recitation of Rama's name, and control of the mind and senses. This fits the question's socio-religious frame: the movement is linked to the Meo community and to the Alwar-Bharatpur region, and Lal Das rejected caste discrimination and stressed equality. Its principal seat at Nagla Jahaz in Bharatpur further anchors the sect in Rajasthan's religious geography.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Ramsnehi Sampradaya is not linked to Lal Das here; Ramcharan, not Lal Das, is identified as its founder.
• (B) Vishnu Swami Sampradaya is a different sect, while Laldasi Sampradaya or Lalpanth is specifically named as the sect established by Laldas.
• (C) Dadu Panth belongs to Dadu Dayal, so it cannot be the institution founded by Saint Lal Das.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's Bhakti and saint-tradition map, especially sect founders, centres and community influence. RAS repeats such questions because local religious movements are part of Rajasthan's social and cultural history.
