Traditional ornaments of Rajasthan MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Choonp is the traditional term used in Rajasthan for fixing or placing a gold nail between the teeth as an ornament. Daamna is not the name of this dental ornament in the given cultural usage. Baari does not refer to the gold nail placed between teeth. Borla is a well-known Rajasthani forehead ornament, usually worn on the head, so it belongs to jewellery vocabulary but not to this specific dental adornment. Therefore, the term matching the printed question is Choonp.

Ognia, Angotia and Surliya are counted among traditional Rajasthani ear ornaments, so the correct placement is in the ears. Head ornaments are a different group, such as borla or rakhdi. Wrist ornaments belong to the bangle and bracelet family, not to these names. Foot ornaments include anklets and toe-rings, which are named separately in folk jewellery lists. The item is therefore testing recognition of regional ornament names and the body part with which they are associated.

Among traditional Rajasthani ornaments, Suraliya is worn on the ear, Timaniya is a neck ornament, and Tagadi is worn around the waist. Ramjhol, however, is not a wrist ornament; it is associated with the feet or ankle region. A wrist ornament would be named differently in the traditional ornament vocabulary. Therefore the pair Ramjhol - Wrist is the wrongly matched pair, while the other three pairs correctly connect the ornament with the body part on which it is worn.

Borla is a traditional Rajasthani head ornament, usually worn at the centre of the forehead or on the head as part of bridal and festive jewellery. Ear ornaments include items such as earrings or jhumkas, not Borla. Nose jewellery is represented by ornaments such as nath or nose rings. Hand jewellery includes bangles, bracelets, and similar items. Since Borla belongs to the head ornament category, the correct body part is the head.
