The Nayak Bhopas narrate which folk deity's legend?

Explanation

Nayak, Rebari and Raika Bhopas are associated with Pabuji Ki Phad, the narrated scroll tradition of the folk deity Pabuji. This is why the answer is Pabuji, not a general Bhopa tradition shared across all deities. The IGNCA note on Phad describes Bhopas as priests of local deities who sing the narratives painted on scrolls, and it separates the Devnarayan tradition from the Pabuji tradition: Devnarayan's story is sung by Gujjar Bhopas, while Pabuji's story is sung by Bhopas from other communities. The exam point is that Phad narration is community-linked: different Bhopa groups serve and narrate the legends of their respective folk deities.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Devnarayan is wrong because Devnarayan Ki Phad is sung by Gujjar Bhopas, not Nayak Bhopas.
• (C) Gogaji is wrong because Nayak Bhopas are associated with Pabuji Ki Phad, while Gogaji belongs to a different folk-deity tradition.
• (D) Ramdevji is wrong because his worship tradition is separate from the Nayak Bhopa narration of Pabuji Ki Phad.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan folk-deity traditions, especially the link between Phad performance, Bhopa communities and local deities. It recurs in RAS because art-and-culture questions often ask which community preserves which oral or ritual tradition.
