Ramayana, the great Indian epic, which every Indian child grows up learning about, is also the world's longest poem, with over 3 million verses. Which city is described as the birthplace of the main protagonist, Lord Rama?
-
Kashi
-
Dwaraka
-
Ayodhya
-
Varanasi
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Ayodhya is correctly identified as Lord Rama's birthplace in the Ramayana. However, the question contains an error - the Mahabharata, not the Ramayana, is traditionally considered the world's longest poem. The Ramayana contains approximately 24,000 slokas compared to the Mahabharata's 100,000.
