Question:

Who among the following constructed "Dinapanah" at Delhi?

Options:

Akbar

Humayun

Shahjahan

Aurangzeb

Correct Answer:

Humayun

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Humayun

Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, constructed Dinapanah at Delhi.

Dinapanah, which means "Abode of Faith", was a new city that Humayun founded on the banks of the Yamuna River in 1533. It was the first city to be built by the Mughals in India.

Dinapanah was a walled city with a number of gates and towers. It also had a number of palaces, mosques, and other public buildings.

However, Dinapanah was destroyed by Sher Shah Suri in 1540 when he defeated Humayun and captured Delhi. Humayun later regained control of Delhi and rebuilt Dinapanah, but it was never as important as it had been before.
