Correct answer: D

Rajasthan's Teej festivals are region-specific monsoon folk festivals honouring Goddess Parvati as Teej Mata; while some Teej observances exist in other regions too, each Rajasthani town's own version is anchored by long-standing local tradition rather than by the lunar date alone.

Kajli Teej (also called Badi Teej) falls on Bhadrapad Krishna Tritiya and is most closely associated, within Rajasthan, with Bundi's own signature version of the festival. The Teej Mata idol is carried in a decorated palanquin through the city's streets in a grand procession, accompanied by decorated elephants and camels, alongside a 15-day fair. RSSB's own official answer key for this paper confirms Bundi as the answer, matching this tradition.

  • Jodhpur hosts the Marwar Festival in Ashwin around Sharad Purnima, honouring Rajasthan's folk heroes through music and dance, not the Kajli Teej procession.

  • Karauli hosts the Kaila Devi fair in Chaitra at the Kaila Devi temple on the Kalisil river, unrelated to the Bhadrapad Teej tradition.

  • Alwar hosts the Bhartrihari Mela at Bhartrihari Dham after Bhadrapada Amavasya, honouring the sage-king Bhartrihari rather than Teej Mata.

  • Among the four listed towns, only Bundi is linked to the Kajli Teej procession on Bhadrapad Krishna Tritiya, which matches the stem exactly.
