Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3 only
Gatka is a Sikh martial art native to Punjab, not Kerala, so Pair 1 is wrong. Madhubani painting originated in Bihar, and the Singhye Khababs (Sindhu Darshan) festival is held in Ladakh region of the erstwhile J-&-K state; thus Pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched. Hence only 2 & 3 are correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatka))
