Which of the pairs given below is /are correct? I. Sarhul - Jharkhand II. Saga Dawa - Assam

The correct answer is I only. Key Points Sarhul Sarhul is celebrated by many tribes in Jharkhand, but most notably the Munda, Ho, and Oraon tribes. Hence, pair II is correctly matched. While nature veneration is an important aspect of the festival, there are also many cultural programs that are enjoyed along with it. Among these many cultural events is“Baa Porob”, the festival of flowers and the worship of the Sal Tree as well as a special Sarhul dance. Saga Dawa Saga Dawa or the Triple Blessed Festival is an auspicious month for the Sikkimese Buddhists with prayers held throughout the month in various monasteries. Hence, pair II is not correctly matched. The full moon of this 4th month of the Tibetan calendar [celebrated as Buddha Purnima in the rest of India] is the main celebration. It is believed that on this day the Buddha was born, attained Enlightenment, and achieved nirvana. A colourful procession of monks playing musical instruments and devotees carrying holy texts, portraits, and statues of Lord Buddha is taken out in Gangtok as well as in other towns and villages of Sikkim.
