Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(मदुरई में)
पाण्ड्य राजाओं के संरक्षण में कुल तीन संगम आयोजित हुए थे:
- प्रथम संगम : मदुरई में (अध्यक्षता: अगस्त्य ऋषि)
- द्वितीय संगम : कपाटपुरम् (अलवै) में (अध्यक्षता: अगस्त्य, बाद में तोल्काप्पियर)
- तृतीय संगम : उत्तरी मदुरई में (अध्यक्षता: नक्कीरर)
अतः तृतीय संगम मदुरई में हुआ था।
Under the patronage of the Pandya kings, three literary assemblies (Sangams) were held:
- First Sangam: Madurai (Chaired by Sage Agastya)
- Second Sangam: Kapatapuram (Chaired by Agastya, later Tolkappiyar)
- Third Sangam: Madurai (Chaired by Nakkirar)
Hence, the Third Sangam took place at Madurai.
