Which stupa in the project has been dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi?
- A.Stupa No. 1
- B.Stupa No. 15
- C.Stupa No. 76
- D.Stupa No. 108
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Stupa No. 76, dedicated by the King of Bhutan to the Prime Minister of India for his commitment and steady support to Gelephu Mindfulness City. The King, the Prime Minister of Bhutan and the visiting Indian minister offered prayers at this stupa, and Kiren Rijiju conveyed the Indian Prime Minister's gratitude for the gesture. Option D, 108, is the total number of stupas in the project and is the most tempting wrong answer, since that number runs through the whole scheme, being also the spacing in metres between one stupa and the next. Option B repeats the height of each stupa in metres, and option A is a guess at the first in the line. Candidates should note that 108, 76, 15 and 11.7 all belong to this story but stand for different things.
