The National Maritime Heritage Complex reviewed at the 2nd Governing Council meeting is coming up at which place?
- A.Dholavira, Gujarat
- B.Lothal, Gujarat
- C.Kochi, Kerala
- D.Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Lothal in Gujarat. The release says the project reviewed by the Governing Council is coming up there, and that it seeks to revive and showcase a maritime legacy spanning over five millennia, with the aim of making the town a globally known centre of maritime heritage, knowledge, education and tourism. Option A is wrong, and it is the sharpest distractor because that site is also a Harappan settlement in the same state; the release names only the one town. Option C is wrong although the release's parent ministry signed a ship repair joint venture at that port city in the same week, which is a separate story. Option D is wrong because no such site appears here. Remember the pairing of the complex with Lothal, and with the Archaeological Survey of India, which is carrying out the excavation.
