Consider the following pairs : Traditions : Communities 1. Chaliha Sahib Festival : Sindhis 2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra : Gonds 3. Wari-Warkari : Santhals Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?

Pair 1 is correctly matched as the Chaliha Sahib Festival is a 40-day period of fasting and penance observed by the Sindhi community to honor their deity, Jhulelal. Pairs 2 and 3 are incorrect because the Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a pilgrimage in Uttarakhand (not associated with the Gonds), and the Wari-Warkari is a centuries-old Bhakti tradition in Maharashtra (not associated with the Santhals). The core concept tested is the geographical and cultural mapping of significant Indian festivals and their respective ethnic or regional communities.
