RAS question

Tejaji's horse was named:

Correct answer: (D) Leelan.

Tejaji's mare was named Leelan, making Leelan the horse associated with his folk legend.

  1. (A)

    Javli

  2. (B)

    Chetak

  3. (C)

    Kanthad

  4. (D)

    Leelan

Explanation

Tejaji is remembered in Rajasthan's folk tradition with Leelan, his mare, as a central presence in the story. Wikipedia: Veer Teja records this directly: in the journey to Paner, Tejaji is described as arriving on his Leelan mare, and in the Lachha cows incident he mounts Leelan before riding out to confront the dacoits who had taken Lachha's cows. That makes option D, Leelan, the correct answer. The detail matters because RAS culture questions often test not only the names of folk deities but also the recognisable symbols, companions and episodes attached to their legends.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Javli is not identified as Tejaji's horse or mare.
  • (B) Chetak is not linked to Tejaji; Leelan is the mare associated with him.
  • (C) Kanthad is not the name of Tejaji's horse.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan folk-deity culture, especially the fixed narrative markers attached to Tejaji. Such details recur in RAS because folk deities are a standard part of Rajasthan history, art and culture preparation.
