Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
'Har Ri Hindolo' (हर री हिंडोळ) is a Rajasthani folk song that belongs to the mourning (shok) tradition. It is sung on the death of an elderly person in the family, where the grief is turned into devotion through praise of God (Hari). Hence it is associated with the occasion of death, not with birth, farewell, or festivals.
