Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Maa Danteshwari Temple at Jagdalpur, where the President performed darshan and puja before the day’s other engagements. She then met the local Manjhi and Chalki, the traditional community representatives of Bastar, at the Muriya Darbar, visited the rangoli and Dussehra exhibition, and addressed the public programme. The other options name temples associated with Chhattisgarh and neighbouring regions but were not part of this visit: Maa Bamleshwari, Mahamaya and Rajiv Lochan temples find no mention in the programme. In her speech the President said tribal communities worship nature because nature is life-giving, and urged the country to draw lessons from their nature-nurturing way of life while pursuing development. She also underlined the importance of preserving and nurturing the environment, and said the rituals of Bastar Dussehra foster a deep sense of kinship among different sections of society.
