In which city was Navaratri Sargotsavam 2026 inaugurated by the Vice-President?
- A.Thiruvananthapuram
- B.Kochi
- C.Kozhikode
- D.Thrissur
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Kozhikode, the city in Kerala where Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan inaugurated the festival and where he also released a book and gave away an award. Option A, Thiruvananthapuram, is wrong although it is the state capital, because the function was not held there. Option B, Kochi, is wrong as well; it is the state commercial hub and a frequent venue for conferences, which makes it a natural distractor, but the festival was elsewhere. Option D, Thrissur, is wrong even though the town is strongly associated with festivals in Kerala. Candidates should link the event, the city and the organiser together: Navaratri Sargotsavam at Kozhikode, organised by Kesari Weekly, with the Governor of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and a Rajya Sabha member present on the occasion.
