Solution

The correct option is D October
  • The Dhangars, are a pastoral community of the central plateau of Maharashtra, consisting of shepherds, blanket weavers and buffalo herders.
  • During the monsoon they stay in the central plateau of Maharashtra which is a semi-arid region with low rainfall and poor soil. This is an ideal place for their livestock as sheep cannot tolerate the wet monsoon conditions.
  • Dry crops like bajra are grown and the area also provides a grazing ground for their flocks.
  • After the harvest in October, they move west in search of pastures to reach Konkan.
