The Folk Deity Lala Hardaul is related to

  • A.Malwa
  • B.Baghelkhand
  • C.Nimad
  • D.Bundelkhand

Answer: D

Lala Hardaul is a folk deity of Bundelkhand.

Hardaul was a seventeenth-century Bundela prince of Orchha, the younger brother of Jujhar Singh, who according to legend was poisoned after being falsely suspected. He came to be worshipped across Bundelkhand, with small platforms (chabutaras) in villages, and he is invoked especially at weddings to keep away storms and trouble.

Malwa, Baghelkhand and Nimad are other cultural regions of Madhya Pradesh with their own folk deities; the Hardaul cult belongs to the Bundela country around Orchha, Tikamgarh and Jhansi.
