Passage

'Kalagram', the cultural village set up at the Maha Kumbh Mela, unfolded as a mosaic of India's diverse regions, each represented by seven meticulously crafted 'Sanskriti Angans'—stepping through the grand portal was like entering another world. These thematic zones, inspired by iconic temples like the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple and the Brahma Mandir, were treasure troves of regional artistry. Bengal's Pattachitra paintings, Assam's bamboo crafts, Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur paintings, and Madhya Pradesh's tribal sculpture—all were showcased in these living galleries where 230 master artisans breathed life into them using age-old techniques, their hands shaping India's ancient history into creations to behold.

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Answer: A — Paintings from four States of India have been mentioned.

Option A — Not correct. The passage names art forms from four states, but only two of them are paintings: Bengal's Pattachitra paintings and Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur paintings. The other two are Assam's bamboo crafts and Madhya Pradesh's tribal sculpture — neither is a painting. So "paintings from four States" is factually inconsistent with the passage.

Option B — Correct. The passage says: "stepping through the grand portal was like entering another world." So Kalagram is indeed likened to another world.

Option C — Correct. The passage explicitly calls the Angans "living galleries" — "...showcased in these living galleries..."

Option D — Correct. The passage says: "These thematic zones, inspired by iconic temples like the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple and the Brahma Mandir..." — directly supporting that Kalagram is divided into thematic zones inspired by well-known temples.

Since Option A is the only statement not correct, Option A is the answer.
