Select the INCORRECT statement from among the following.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ‘Piprahwa Stupa’ is situated in Sikkim.
The statement is incorrect because Piprahwa Stupa is located in Uttar Pradesh, India, not Sikkim. It is situated in the Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh, close to the border with Nepal. This archaeological site is highly significant as it is believed to be the ancient city of Kapilavastu, where Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) spent his early life, and excavations have unearthed relics believed to be a portion of Buddha's ashes.
