Q. Satpula dam, recently seen in news, is located in which state/UT?
Answer: Delhi
Notes: Delhi's ancient Satpula dam, built in the 14th century during Sultan Muhammad Shah Tughlaq's reign, remains intact. Constructed with Delhi quartz, it formed a crucial part of Jahanpanah's defense wall, serving dual roles of irrigation and protection. Believed to possess healing properties due to its proximity to Sufi saint Chirag Dehlavi's residence, it was a site for Diwali celebrations and pilgrimages. Satpula, meaning 'seven bridges,' symbolizes resilience and heritage in Delhi's history.
