- B3 only
- C2 and 3 onlyCorrect
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
The correct answer is C because of the following reasons:
Pair 1 is incorrect. Gatka is a traditional martial art associated with the state of Punjab, not Kerala. Kalaripayattu is the famous traditional martial art of Kerala.
Pair 2 is correct. Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila art, is a world famous traditional folk painting style originating from the Mithila region of Bihar.
Pair 3 is correct. The Singhey Khababs Sindhu Darshan Festival is celebrated in Ladakh. At the time this question was framed, Ladakh was part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The festival celebrates the Indus River as a symbol of communal harmony and unity.
Since pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched and pair 1 is wrong, the correct option is C.
