Consider the following pairs:

Traditions- Communities
1. Chaliha Sahib Festival- Sindhis
2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra- Gonds
3. Wari-Warkari- Santhals
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) None of the above


  • Chaliha Sahib: Sindhi festival regarding Jhulelal. So first pair is right.
  • Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra: Nanda Devi related festival in Uttarakhand. Gonds are not native to this state, as per Majid Hussain's Indian Geography page 13.19. so 2 is wrong.
  • Wari-Warkari:  Wari is a pilgrimage for the Warkari sect related to Pandharpur god Vithoba in  Maharashtra, and it's part of Bhakti movement rather than festival of a particular tribal group. Besides, Santhals are not native to this state, as per Majid Hussain's Indian Geography page 13.22. So 3 is wrong.
