Question:

Which one of the following is not part of Kuru-Panchala region and its neighbouring areas?

Options:

Bodh Gaya

Indraprastha

Virata

Hampi

Correct Answer:

Hampi

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Hampi

The Kuru-Panchala region in ancient India covered areas roughly corresponding to present-day western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and parts of Delhi, along with neighboring regions in the Gangetic plains. Hampi, however, is located in the southern part of India in present-day Karnataka. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire and is geographically very distant from the Kuru-Panchala region.
