Where will the main celebration of the 11th Ayurveda Day be held?
- A.Jaipur, Rajasthan
- B.New Delhi
- C.Nagpur, Maharashtra
- D.Goa
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Nagpur, Maharashtra, named in the announcement as the place of the main celebration on 23 September 2026. Option A names Jaipur, which does appear in the release but for a different reason: the National Institute of Ayurveda there, headed by Prof. Sanjeev Sharma, will begin new programmes as part of the occasion, and its Vice-Chancellor set out the plans at the press conference. Option B names New Delhi, which is where the curtain raiser press conference was held at the National Media Centre, and a hurried reader will confuse the city of the announcement with the city of the celebration. Option D names Goa, which does not figure in this release at all. Keep the pair separate in revision, New Delhi for the curtain raiser on 7 September and Nagpur for the main event on 23 September.
