Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Dragon and snow lion motifs.
Sikkim’s handloom carpets are often adorned with dragon and snow lion motifs. These motifs are symbolic of the state’s rich cultural heritage and its unique blend of Buddhist and Hindu traditions. The dragon is a symbol of power and strength, while the snow lion is a symbol of courage and protection. These motifs are often used in traditional Sikkimese art and architecture, and they are also found on many of the state’s handicrafts, including carpets.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option (a), images of Buddhist deities, is incorrect because these are not typically found on Sikkimese handloom carpets.
- Option (c), scenes from folktales, is incorrect because these are also not typically found on Sikkimese handloom carpets.
- Option (d), floral patterns, is incorrect because these are not as common as dragon and snow lion motifs on Sikkimese handloom carpets.
