- Read the following passage carefully and answer any four questions after it. 4x1= 4
The Telangana government has announced four icons for the new state. They are 1. the State Bird — Palapitta (Indian Roller or Blue Jay; Scientific name — Coracias benghalensis) 2. the State Animal - Jinka (Scientific name Cervidae), 3. the State Tree - Jammi Chettu (Prosopis spicigera/ cineraria) and 4. the State Flower - Tangedu (Tanner's cassia scientific name— Senna auriculata). These icons reflect the culture and tradition of the Telangana state and three of them - Tangedu flowers, Blue Jay and Jammi Chettu are associated with the popular festivals of Bathukamma and Dasara. While Tangedu flowers are used in the stacking of Bathukammas, spotting the Blue Jay on Dasara is considered a good omen. People worship the Jammi Chettu during Dasara. Palapitta and Jinka have a prominent place in the Ramayana while Jammi Chettu plays an important role in the Mahabharata. Thus, the new state symbols give importance to our epics too.
