The host of the program, Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bachchan had put this question to Avinash for Rs 25 lakh. The question was asked regarding the famous classical music festival Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan of Jalandhar.
What is the Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan?
The Harivallab Sangeet Sammelan is India’s oldest classical music festival. It was started in 1875 by Baba Harivallabh and is held in the Devi Talab Mandir every year. Baba Harivallabh, the founder of this glorious tradition, was born in the later part of 18th century in village Bajwara, District Hoshiarpur (Punjab). Harivallabh possessed a remarkably melodious voice and soon touched great heights in classical music. Baba Tuljagiri Ji named Harivallabh as his successor to the ‘Gaddi’ (sacred seat of music). Baba Tuljagiri Ji left this mortal world in 1874 and Harivallabh thus became “Baba Harivallabh”. The Harivallabh conference runs from 25th to 31st December in Jalandhar, Punjab.
This time too, big artists from all over India have arrived to participate in the Sammellan. According to the information, actor Amitabh Bachchan had asked Avinash from which city of India the Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan was started in 1875 for Rs 25 lakh. Four options were given for the answer below the question. In which first was Jalandhar, Second was Patna, third was Delhi and fourth was Hyderabad. The answer to the question was Jalandhar. It should be noted that Avinash used a helpline to answer this question.
Till now Avinash has answered about 14 questions correctly. Avinash has won Rs 50 lakh. On Friday evening he will face the question of Rs 1 crore on the hot seat. Sources say that he has won the 1 crore even though the show is set to air tonight.
In the promotion of the program, it is being shown that after winning one crore, Avinash sits on his knees and salutes Amitabh Bachchan. After this Amitabh Bachchan gives him water to drink and wipes his tears. The episode in which he wins one crore will be released today.
