Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The Shulpani (Shoolpaneshwar) region is a dense, hilly forest tract straddling the Madhya Pradesh–Gujarat border, south of the Narmada river. It is a celebrated and famously difficult stage of the Narmada Parikrama — the traditional circumambulation of the holy Narmada river. The tract takes its name from the Shoolpaneshwar (Shiva) shrine, and its remote terrain with scattered tribal hamlets makes it the toughest leg of the parikrama. Hence the correct answer is Narmada Parikrama.
