Which of the following festival is NOT celebrated in Rajasthan?
Karaga
The question asks which festival is NOT native to Rajasthan, so we identify the odd one out by its region of origin.
Teej is a monsoon festival of Rajasthan dedicated to Goddess Parvati, marking her union with Lord Shiva; women swing, apply mehndi and pray for marital happiness.
Gangaur is one of Rajasthan's most important festivals, honouring Gauri (Parvati); processions of her idol are taken out, especially grandly in Jaipur and Udaipur.
Makar Sankranti is celebrated across Rajasthan too, marked by large-scale kite flying, til-gud sweets and the sun's northward journey (Uttarayan).
Karaga, however, is a folk festival of Karnataka held in Bengaluru, dedicated to the goddess Draupadi (Shakti); a priest carries a floral pyramid (karaga) on his head through the old city.
Since Karaga belongs to Karnataka's Thigala community and not to Rajasthan, it is the festival that does not fit.
Hence, the festival NOT celebrated in Rajasthan is Karaga.
