Complex questions on rock cut temples each year. Thankfully nothing from rock cut temples.

But now Sun temple asked. So back to same level of  difficulty level! Watch The Whole Ten Yards Online Metacritic. Literature 2. 01. Love story in Malavikagnirnitra 2. Nothing. ?? Festivals of Maharashtra and Uttarakhand. Song & Dance forms of North East. With reference to the religious history of India, consider the following statements: 1.

Sautrantika and Sammitiya were the sects of Jainism. Sarvastivadin held that the constituents of phenomena were not wholly momentary, but existed forever in a latent form.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?(a) 1 only(b) 2 only(c) Both 1 and 2(d) Neither 1 nor 2. Indian History: Krishna Reddy (Macgrawhill Publication) Page A2. Watch Parasites Online Facebook on this page.

It lists Sautrantikas and Sammtiyas as Buddhism sects. So first statement is wrong. Same book, same page also gives a note on Sarvastivadins This sect of Buddhism believes that all things exist, and exist continuously, in the past and the future as well as in the present.  So second statement is right.

Difficulty: ★★★  Routine GK books cover only three sects of Buddhism i. Hinayana, Mahayana and Theravada. This Krishna Redddy book is meant for Optional Subject History.

Guessmaster- giri: irrelevant. Factual GK asked. The painting of Bodhisattva Padmapani is one of the most famous and oft- illustrated paintings at(a) Ajanta(b) Badami(c) Bagh(d) Ellora.

New NCERT, Std. 1. An Introduction to Indian Art ( Page 5. Padmapani boddhisattva at ajanta Cave no.

Difficulty: ★★★  difficult to memorize and recall, so many caves and so many paintings. Besides, these days, aspirants rely mostly on Nitin Singhania book and therefore tend to downplay NCERs- while he has given this photo on page 2. Padmapani, else would have been easy. Guessmaster- giri: irrelevant, because this is Factual GK, one word options. Consider the following pairs: Traditions- Communities.

Chaliha Sahib Festival- Sindhis. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra- Gonds. Wari- Warkari- Santhals. Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?(a) 1 only(b) 2 and 3 only(c) 1 and 3 only(d) None of the above. Google searching reveals: Chaliha Sahib: Sindhi festival regarding Jhulelal.

So first pair is right. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra: Nanda Devi related festival in Uttarakhand. Gonds are not native to this state, as per Majid Hussain's Indian Geography page 1. Wari- Warkari:  Wari is a pilgrimage for the Warkari sect related to Pandharpur god Vithoba in  Maharashtra, and it's part of Bhakti movement rather than festival of a particular tribal group. Besides, Santhals are not native to this state, as per Majid Hussain's Indian Geography page 1. So #3 is wrong. Accordingly, answer "A": 1 only.

Difficulty: ★★★  difficult to memorize and recall so many festivals of so many communities and sects. Guessmaster- giri: If you belong to or know about particular region or community's festivals then by long shot possible. But that demography is small, and this is factual GK pairings, so I put it under "irrelevant". Which of the following is/are famous for Sun temples? Arasavalli. 2. Amarakantak. Omkareshwar. Select the correct answer using the code given below : (a) 1 only(b) 2 and 3 only(c) 1 and 3 only(d) 1, 2 and 3.

India Yearbook 2. Chapter 3. 0 lists Omkareshwar and Amarkantak among major pilgrimage centres of Madhya Pradesh. But this doesn't help in elimination. Routine history, culture books not throwing any sun temple names except Modhera (Gujarat) and Konark (Odisha). Difficulty: ★★★  tough because Arasavalli not given in the routine books.

Current Affairs Span: The Hindu 3rd February 2. Arasavalli temple. But then Hindu would cover many such southern temples on weekly basis throughtout the year- so difficult to compile, memorize.

Guessmaster- giri: irrelevant, because this is Factual GK. Even if casually you know Amarakantak is Narmada origin, but still for elimination, you need to have specific knowledge whether Omkareshwar has sun temple or not? And if you're sure on that, then by elimination you can arrive at "A": only 1, because there is no "none of the above". But then it's 'knowledged elimination' not guessmaster- giri.

With reference to Manipuri Sankirtana, consider the following statements: 1. It is a song and dance performance. Cymbals are the only musical instruments used in the performance. It is performed to narrate the life and deeds of Lord Krishna. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?(a) 1, 2 and 3.(b) 1 and 3 only(c) 2 and 3 only(d) 1 only As per Nitin Singhania page 1. It says two drummers and ten singer dancers usually present.

Meaning either cymbals are not the only instrument OR they're using drums instead of cymbals. In either interpretation- statement 2 is wrong.

Hence answer "B" 1 and 3 only. Males dancers play Pung and Kartal during Manipuri Sankirtana.] in either case,#2 is wrong so answer remains "B".

Current Affairs Span: 2. UNESCO added it in some unique list for 2.

Difficulty: ★☆☆ Easy to medium depending on your revision of Nitin's book. Guessmaster- giri: Possible with background knowledge from Nitin Singhania book: that Manipuri has something to do with Vaishnavism = Krishna. So this eliminates "D". So it ought to be wrong.

This eliminates "A" and "C", and we arrive at correct answer "B". Again, please understand the fine line between "knowledged ticking" Guessmaster- giri with background knowledge In case of Omkareshwar, you need specific knowledge that it doesn't have Sun Temple.

Hence guessmaster- giri irrelevant.
