Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The "Panch Pir" of Rajasthani folk religion refers to a specific, named group of five folk deities (locally called "Pir") who are worshipped together as a set across communities in the region, distinct from the many other individually-revered folk deities of Rajasthan.
The five deities conventionally grouped as the Panch Pir are Pabuji, Harbhuji (Hadbuji), Ramdevji, Gogaji, and Mehaji Manglia (Mallinathji in one regional variant). Checking each offered option against this standard group:
Harbhuji — one of the five deities of the Panch Pir group.
Tejaji — a separately revered Rajasthani folk deity (linked with snake-bite protection and cattle protection), but not one of the five names in the standard Panch Pir group.
Ramdevji — one of the five deities of the Panch Pir group.
Pabuji — one of the five deities of the Panch Pir group.
Since Harbhuji, Ramdevji, and Pabuji are each part of the standard Panch Pir set while Tejaji is not, the deity not included in the Panch Pir is Tejaji, confirmed by the RSSB Patwar 2025 Shift 1 official answer key.
