President Droupadi Murmu attended a public programme on the occasion of Bastar Dussehra in which city?
- A.Raipur
- B.Bilaspur
- C.Jagdalpur
- D.Durg
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Jagdalpur, the main town of the Bastar region in Chhattisgarh, where the President graced and addressed a public programme on the occasion of Bastar Dussehra. During the visit she also interacted with the local Manjhi and Chalki at the Muriya Darbar, saw the rangoli and the Dussehra exhibition, and earlier offered darshan and puja at the Maa Danteshwari Temple in the same town. Option A is wrong because Raipur, the state capital, was not the venue of this programme. Option B is wrong because Bilaspur was not involved. Option D is wrong because Durg had no part in the event. In her address the President described Bastar Dussehra as a vibrant symbol of Chhattisgarh’s cultural pride and collective faith, noting that the whole community takes part in its rituals.
