Which of the following is not a type of Angarkhi?

Appeared in: Raj. CHO -2025

Explanation

Nichol is the correct choice because it is not a type of Angarkhi.
An Angarkhi is a traditional upper garment for men, characterized by its overlapping panels tied with strings.
Nichol is a type of 'Odhni' (a veil or mantle), which is a traditional garment worn by women in Rajasthan.

Option A: Tansukh is a recognized type of Angarkhi, a traditional men's upper garment.
Option B: Gaaba (or Gaba) is another known variation of the Angarkhi.
Option C: Mirzai is a specific style of short Angarkhi, often worn as a jacket, and is therefore a type of Angarkhi.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Types of traditional Indian attire (Angarkhi) as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This question assesses general knowledge, which is a component of the syllabus for many nursing entrance examinations in India.
While not a clinical topic, cultural awareness, including familiarity with traditional customs and attire, contributes to holistic and culturally sensitive patient communication.
What if the question asked to identify a type of men's headwear from Rajasthan? In that case, options like 'Pagri' or 'Safa' would be correct, and Angarkhi would be incorrect.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the key term in the question, which is 'Angarkhi'.
Second, note the negative keyword 'not'. This indicates you are looking for the option that does not belong to the group.
Third, recall or deduce the definition of Angarkhi, which is a traditional men's upper garment.
Fourth, evaluate each option to determine if it is a known type of Angarkhi. Tansukh, Gaaba, and Mirzai are all styles of this garment.
Fifth, identify 'Nichol' as the term that does not fit the category. It refers to a woman's garment (Odhni), making it the correct answer.
