Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. NagapattinamC. नागपट्टिनम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Nagapattinam.
According to the source, Vailankanni, also written as Velankanni, is a pilgrimage centre located in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu.
The book further states that it is also known as the 'Lourdes of the East'.
The city is described as being famous for the church of Mother Mary, and the source additionally mentions handlooms and silk as notable features of the place.
This makes the question useful for religious geography, tourism, cultural GK and district-location preparation.
The primary association to remember is Velankanni — Nagapattinam district — Tamil Nadu.
Students should also remember the title 'Lourdes of the East', because SSC may reverse the question and ask which Indian pilgrimage centre is known by that name.
The reference to the church of Mother Mary is another important source-supported clue.
Theni, Salem and Madurai are all districts or cities of Tamil Nadu and therefore form strong distractors, but the book specifically identifies Nagapattinam.
For revision, remember the complete chain: Velankanni — Tamil Nadu — Nagapattinam district — pilgrimage centre — Lourdes of the East — church of Mother Mary — known also for handlooms and silk.
This is a good example of how one location question can generate several related GK facts.
Based on the source, option (c), Nagapattinam, is correct.
सही उत्तर नागपट्टिनम है। स्रोत के अनुसार Vailankanni या Velankanni तमिलनाडु के Nagapattinam district में स्थित एक प्रसिद्ध pilgrimage centre है। पुस्तक इसे 'Lourdes of the East' के नाम से भी पहचानती है। स्रोत आगे बताता है कि यह स्थान Mother Mary के church के लिए प्रसिद्ध है और यहां handlooms तथा silk का भी उल्लेख किया गया है। इसलिए यह प्रश्न Religious Geography, Tourism, Cultural GK और District-Location preparation के लिए उपयोगी है। मुख्य association याद रखें: Velankanni — Nagapattinam district — Tamil Nadu। 'Lourdes of the East' title भी महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि SSC प्रश्न को उल्टा पूछ सकता है कि किस भारतीय pilgrimage centre को यह नाम दिया जाता है। Mother Mary के church का उल्लेख भी एक मजबूत source-based clue है। Theni, Salem और Madurai सभी Tamil Nadu से जुड़े महत्वपूर्ण स्थान हैं, इसलिए वे मजबूत distractors हैं, लेकिन पुस्तक Velankanni को Nagapattinam district में बताती है। Revision chain रखें: Velankanni — Tamil Nadu — Nagapattinam — Pilgrimage Centre — Lourdes of the East — Church of Mother Mary — Handlooms and Silk। एक ही location-based question से इतने facts तैयार किए जा सकते हैं। स्रोत के अनुसार विकल्प (c), नागपट्टिनम, सही उत्तर है।
