In which festival women do not participate?

Chandi
Suryahi Puja
Sohrai
Manda

The correct answer is C. Sohrai.

Sohrai is a harvest festival celebrated by the Munda people of Jharkhand, India. It is a three-day festival that begins on the first day of the month of Magh (January-February). The first day is called “Hata”, the second day is called “Jatra”, and the third day is called “Bhagat”.

On the first day, the Munda people offer prayers to the sun god, Surya, and to the earth goddess, Pachama. They also offer prayers to their ancestors. On the second day, they celebrate with music, dance, and feasting. On the third day, they offer prayers to the village gods and goddesses.

Women do not participate in the Sohrai festival because it is believed that they will bring bad luck to the festival. This is because women are associated with death and mourning, while the Sohrai festival is a celebration of life and harvest.
