Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. PuneD. पुणे
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Pune.
According to the source, the four widely recognised Kumbh Melas are the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, Haridwar Kumbh Mela, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha and Ujjain Simhastha.
Therefore Pune is not one of the traditional Kumbh Mela locations.
This question is important because it tests the same core fact from a negative angle.
Students who memorise only one or two Kumbh locations may make mistakes, especially because the question uses the word NOT.
The complete location list supplied by the source should therefore be memorised: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar and Ujjain.
The source again describes Kumbh Mela as a mass Hindu pilgrimage in which devotees gather for bathing in a sacred river.
This contextual information reinforces the religious-geographical nature of the fair.
Haridwar, Ujjain and Prayagraj are genuine Kumbh sites, so Pune is the outsider.
A related PYQ may substitute Puri or another city as the incorrect option, as happens in the next question.
This repetition shows why students should understand the full four-site structure rather than memorising one answer.
For quick revision, remember: Kumbh Mela sites — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar, Ujjain; NOT Pune.
The source uses the names Prayagraj and Allahabad in nearby questions, so students should recognise them as references to the same city in the source context.
Therefore option (d), Pune, is correct.
सही उत्तर पुणे है। स्रोत के अनुसार चार widely recognised Kumbh Melas हैं: Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, Haridwar Kumbh Mela, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha और Ujjain Simhastha। इसलिए Pune पारंपरिक Kumbh Mela locations में शामिल नहीं है। यह प्रश्न महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यही fact negative wording में पूछा गया है। यदि विद्यार्थी केवल एक-दो locations याद रखते हैं तो NOT शब्द के कारण गलती हो सकती है। Source द्वारा दी गई पूरी list याद रखें: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar और Ujjain। पुस्तक Kumbh Mela को एक mass Hindu pilgrimage बताती है जिसमें devotees sacred river में स्नान के लिए इकट्ठा होते हैं। यह context fair के धार्मिक और geographical significance को मजबूत करता है। Haridwar, Ujjain और Prayagraj genuine Kumbh sites हैं, इसलिए Pune outsider है। अगला PYQ इसी fact को दूसरे distractor, जैसे Puri, के साथ पूछता है। यह repetition दिखाती है कि केवल answer नहीं, बल्कि full four-site structure याद करना जरूरी है। Quick revision: Kumbh Mela Sites — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar, Ujjain; NOT Pune। Source आसपास के questions में Prayagraj और Allahabad दोनों नाम प्रयोग करता है, इसलिए विद्यार्थियों को समझना चाहिए कि source context में दोनों एक ही शहर को refer करते हैं। इसलिए विकल्प (d), Pune, सही उत्तर है।
