In which of the following countries did Prime Minister Modi start 'Ramayana Circuit' on May 11, 2018?

A Sri Lanka
B Myanmar
C Nepal
D Indonesia

Correct answer: (c) Nepal

Explanation

  1. A

    Sri Lanka

    (a) Sri Lanka. India and Sri Lanka share Ramayana sites such as Ashok Vatika traditions, but the 11 May 2018 launch of the Ramayana Circuit by Prime Minister Modi was not in Sri Lanka. It is not the key.

  2. B

    Myanmar

    (b) Myanmar. Myanmar is not on the Ramayana Circuit as launched that May. The visit and dedication were elsewhere, so this letter is not the key.

  3. C

    Nepal

    (c) Nepal. On 11 May 2018 in Janakpur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nepal’s Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli jointly laid the foundation of the Ramayana Circuit and related Janaki work. That Nepal stop is the stored official key. The circuit links Ayodhya–Janakpur pilgrimage for diaspora and domestic pilgrims.

  4. D

    Indonesia

    (d) Indonesia. Indonesian Ramayana dance and Prambanan lore are cultural cousins, not the 11 May 2018 launch venue. Indonesia is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) Nepal. The Ramayana Circuit opening of 11 May 2018 was at Janakpur with Nepal’s leadership. Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Indonesia hold other Ramayana memories but not that day’s launch. Janaki Temple and the Ayodhya–Janakpur link are the askable neighbours. Honour the stored Nepal letter.
