The correct answer is: A. Minjar
Minjar is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Pangi valley of Chamba district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is a harvest festival that is celebrated in the month of August or September. The festival is dedicated to the goddess Minjar, who is believed to be the goddess of fertility and harvest.
The festival is celebrated for a period of ten days. The first day of the festival is called the “Jhanda Utsava”. On this day, a flag is hoisted at the Minjar temple. The next nine days are called the “Naumi Utsava”. On these days, there are various religious ceremonies and rituals performed at the temple. The tenth day is called the “Vijayadashami”. On this day, the flag is lowered and the festival comes to an end.
The main attraction of the festival is the Minjar fair. The fair is held at the Minjar temple and is attended by people from all over the valley. The fair is a major tourist attraction and is a great opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of the Pangi valley.
The Minjar festival is a time of great joy and celebration. It is a time for people to come together and celebrate the harvest and the blessings of the goddess Minjar. The festival is also a time for people to renew their faith in the goddess and to pray for her blessings for the coming year.
