The Simhastha Maha Kumbh at Nashik is held on the banks of which river?

  1. A.Ganga
  2. B.Shipra
  3. C.Godavari
  4. D.Narmada

Correct answer

C. Godavari

Explanation

The correct answer is Godavari. While speaking at Nashik the President set out the four great Kumbh gatherings of the country along with the waters each belongs to, and the Nashik fair is the one held on the banks of the Godavari. Option A is wrong because the Ganga belongs to the Kumbh at Haridwar. Option B is wrong because the Shipra belongs to the Kumbh at Ujjain. Option D is wrong because the Narmada was not named among the Kumbh rivers at all. The fourth of the group is Prayagraj, where the fair is held at the Triveni Sangam, the meeting of the waters. The President also used the fuller name of the Nashik fair, the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Maha Kumbh, and said the continuous holding of these gatherings over centuries is proof of the strength of the country's historical, cultural, social and spiritual traditions.
