Answer: Option C
Solution:
On the eleventh day of Jeth (May - June), Nirjala Ekadashi is celebrated which is known as Nimani Kasti in Punjab. Hindu women observe fast on this day and coated their body with powdered sandalwood. The fast is very hard to keep as for the whole day one has to abstain even from water. On this day, people put up stalls known as Chhabilis, for free distribution of sweetened and chilled water.
