Two temples of the religion Y are considered very holy and are located just 70
kms from each other. For years the people were able to freely commute
between these two places without any restriction. However, once a British
lawyer drew a line on the map making it impossible for the pilgrims to travel.
Keeping in mind the vast amount of pilgrims unable to travel it was mutually
decided that X would be constructed to help facilitate travel. X had been
closed for about 1.5 years due to COVID but it was reopened in late 2021 due
to the people wanting to celebrate the birth anniversary of the founder of
religion Y.

12. Q6
During 1857 a weird incident started occurring which puzzled the British. Huge
amounts of X were made and distributed at night to police outposts and homes all
over India. The people who were on the receiving end of X made more of it and
redistributed it.
Sometimes the people distributing X were the police officers themselves. It reached
far and wide from Kolkata to Delhi to Indore and beyond. The Britishers were really
anxious and confused as they thought the spread of X was a form of
communication and a huge uprising was brewing but ultimately no conclusive result
was found behind the bizarre distribution of X.
X is flat and easily rollable which may be one of the reasons why it was distributed.

art and culture like many of his predecessors. However he was most famous
for the state of law and order under his rule. It is said that X put up a long
system of golden bells hung all the way from his castle to the banks of Yamuna
river near it.

their voice heard by the king who in turn would resolve their problems. Hence
the system of golden bells together was also called Y.
