RAS question
The Camel Festival is celebrated in which city of Rajasthan?
Correct answer: (B) Bikaner.
The Camel Festival of Rajasthan is celebrated in Bikaner.
Explanation
Rajasthan Tourism lists the event under Bikaner as the Bikaner Camel Festival, an annual festival dedicated to the camel, often described as the ship of the desert. That makes Bikaner the answer, not merely because the city name appears in the festival title, but because the official Bikaner tourism page connects the festival with camel-centred events such as camel races, camel milking, best-breed competitions, camel acrobatics and camel beauty pageants. The same page frames Bikaner as camel country, which explains why a Rajasthan culture question links this festival specifically with Bikaner rather than with another desert-region city.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jaisalmer is linked with the Desert Festival, so choosing it confuses another Rajasthan desert festival with the Camel Festival.
- (C) Jodhpur is associated with the Marwar Festival, not the Camel Festival asked here.
- (D) Barmer is not identified as the host city for this festival; the cited official tourism page places the Camel Festival under Bikaner.
Concept
This tests the Rajasthan Geography and culture sub-topic of fairs and festivals, especially matching a festival to its host city. It recurs in RAS because such one-line place-culture associations are standard factual checks in Rajasthan-specific papers.
