Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Gulabi Gangaur is a special form of the Gangaur festival celebrated in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Unlike the regular Gangaur festival (celebrated across Rajasthan), Gulabi Gangaur is observed specifically on Chaitra Shukla Panchami in Ajmer.
The celebration is known for its unique rituals, colorful processions, and cultural performances, where idols of Gauri (Parvati) are worshipped. The term “Gulabi” reflects the festive and vibrant nature of the celebration. This distinct tradition makes Ajmer the correct answer.
