Which of the following was the theme State for the 37th Surajkund…

Concept — The Surajkund International Crafts Mela is an annual handicrafts and handloom fair held at Surajkund in Faridabad, Haryana. Each edition designates a theme State — one Indian State or Union Territory, or occasionally a pair of them or an entire region — whose crafts, cuisine and folk performances anchor the fair's main display. At most one edition is held in any year, so an edition number identifies a specific year, and that year identifies that edition's theme designation.

Application — Counting the recent editions gives the 34th in 2020, the 35th in 2022 (no mela was held in 2021), the 36th in 2023 and the 37th in 2024. The 37th Surajkund International Crafts Mela ran from 2 to 18 February 2024, and its theme State was Gujarat, so its main display was built around Gujarati crafts such as Patan Patola weaving and Kachchh embroidery.

Cross-check — Reading the theme State against the edition number for the neighbouring years separates the four names offered here:

Manipur therefore belongs to the 36th edition's North-Eastern group theme and Madhya Pradesh to the 38th edition's pairing, while Rajasthan does not appear as the theme State in this run of editions.

Result — The theme State of the 37th Surajkund International Crafts Mela was Gujarat.
