उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) भारत के चार राज्यों की चित्रकारी का उल्लेख किया गया है।
Four States are mentioned, but only two of them for paintings: Bengal's Pattachitra and Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur. Assam is named for bamboo crafts and Madhya Pradesh for tribal sculpture, so statement (a) is the incorrect one.
- ✗ (a) Only Pattachitra (Bengal) and Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu) are paintings; bamboo crafts and tribal sculpture are not. So this is the statement that is not correct.
- ✓ (b) The passage says stepping through the grand portal 'was like entering another world'.
- ✓ (c) The art forms were showcased 'in these living galleries', i.e., the Angans.
- ✓ (d) The Angans are called 'thematic zones, inspired by iconic temples' such as Dakshineshwar Kali Temple and Brahma Mandir.
