Solve 1 Bairath and Matsya region questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.
Practice questions
Q1Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Bairath is situated in Jaipur district. It was a very developed place during various eras. Statement (II): It was the capital of the Matsya region during the Mahabharata period. Stone plaques from the period of Samrat Ashoka have also been found there. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Explanation
Both statements are correct. Bairath, also known historically as Viratnagar, lies in the Jaipur district and is an important archaeological and historical site of Rajasthan. Its association with different periods explains why the first statement calls it a developed centre across eras. The second statement is also sound: the site is linked with the Matsya region in the Mahabharata tradition, and Ashokan-period inscriptions and remains have been reported from the area. Therefore the choices that reject either statement do not fit the historical and archaeological profile of Bairath.
