RAS question
What was Rajasthan's traditional Sankranti sweet that saw international demand from the US and UK?
Correct answer: (B) Feeni.
Rajasthan's traditional Sankranti sweet that saw demand from across India and orders from the US and UK was Jaipur's milk-based Feeni.
Explanation
The answer is Feeni because the question points to a very specific Sankranti-linked sweet from Jaipur: a milk-based preparation whose demand was noted across India, with international orders from the US and the UK. India Shopping supports the identification by listing Feni as a sweets category on its live UK storefront and by showing both United Kingdom and United States country options. This demand cue fits Feeni better than the other Rajasthan sweets in the options. Ghevar, Churma and Malpua are familiar regional sweets, but the evidence singles out Feeni through its Jaipur association, milk-based description and overseas order trail.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Ghevar is not the sweet tied to the Sankranti demand and overseas orders; those clues point to Jaipur's milk-based Feeni.
- (C) Churma does not fit the clue because the milk-based Jaipur sweet with US and UK orders is Feeni, not Churma.
- (D) Malpua is ruled out because the cross-India and overseas demand is attributed to Feeni instead.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan art-and-culture awareness through festival foods and their contemporary market visibility. Such questions recur in RAS because local cuisine, fairs and festivals are treated as markers of Rajasthan's living cultural heritage.
