Explanation

Let's analyze each pair: 1. Chaliha Sahib Festival - Sindhis: This pair is correctly matched. The Chaliha Sahib Festival is indeed a significant festival celebrated by the Sindhi community to honor their deity, Jhulelal. 2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra - Gonds: This pair is incorrectly matched. The Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a revered pilgrimage and festival primarily associated with the Garhwali people of Uttarakhand, dedicated to Goddess Nanda Devi. The Gonds are a large tribal group predominantly found in Central India. 3. Wari-Warkari - Santhals: This pair is incorrectly matched. The Wari-Warkari is an annual pilgrimage tradition in Maharashtra, associated with the Varkari sect of Vaishnavism, who are devotees of Lord Vitthal. The Santhals are a major tribal group primarily found in Eastern India (Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar). Therefore, only pair 1 is correctly matched.
