Question 4920
Which of the following set is wrongly matched?
Answer
Cherry-Blossom - Andhra pradesh
Why?
Correct Answer: 2) Cherry-Blossom - Andhra Pradesh Key Points This is incorrectly matched. Cherry blossoms are famously associated with regions in the temperate zone, especially Japan. In India, cherry blossoms are more commonly associated with states in the North-East, particularly Meghalaya, not Andhra Pradesh. This festival marks the unique blooming season of Cherry Blossoms in the region. Andhra Pradesh is known for its rich cultural heritage and festivals but not for Cherry Blossoms. Additional Information 1) Kal-Baisakhi - West Bengal: This is correctly matched. Kal-Baisakhi refers to the pre-monsoon or summer showers that are common in West Bengal and the eastern parts of India. These showers are crucial for the crops and are known for their sudden onset, bringing relief from the sweltering summer heat. 3) Mango Showers - Karnataka: Correctly matched. Mango showers refer to the pre-monsoon rainfall that occurs in parts of South India, including Karnataka. These showers are beneficial for the early ripening of mangoes, hence the name. They are also experienced in other parts of the Indian subcontinent. 4) Bardoli Chheerha - Assam: This is also correctly matched. Bardoli Chheerha is a specific type of rain or weather pattern experienced in Assam. It's part of the local terminology and weather culture, indicative of the region's unique climatic conditions and agricultural practices. Conclusion: The wrongly matched pair is the Cherry-Blossom festival being associated with Andhra Pradesh, as this festival is significant in regions like Shillong, Meghalaya, where Cherry Blossoms are a natural spectacle, not in Andhra Pradesh. Other options correctly match the regional weather phenomena or cultural practices with their respective areas.
