Dadu Dayal settled in Naraina (near Jaipur) and renounced his body in which year?

Explanation

Dadu Dayal's final association with Naraina is central to this saint-location-date link. He reached Naraina in 1602 CE and renounced his body on Jyeshtha Krishna Ashtami in 1603 CE. Encyclopaedia Britannica also places his death at Naraina, around 1603, and notes that he had moved through Sembhar and Amber before finally settling at Naraina near Jaipur. Naraina remained the centre of the Dadu Panth, the sect inspired by his teachings. The year linked with his death at Naraina is 1603 CE, not a later or earlier distractor year.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) 1612 CE is too late, because Dadu Dayal had already renounced his body at Naraina in 1603 CE.
• (C) 1585 CE is too early, because Dadu Dayal arrived at Naraina only in 1602 CE and died there in 1603 CE.
• (D) 1593 CE does not match the accepted Naraina death date of 1603 CE, which Encyclopaedia Britannica supports as around 1603 at Naraina.

Concept

RAS covers the Rajasthan Bhakti movement through Dadu Dayal and the Dadu Panth. Such saint-location-date links connect cultural history with Rajasthan's religious centres.
