Solution
The correct option is C Maha Moksha Parishad
In the year 643 A.D., Harsha held a great religious assembly in his capital at Kannauj on the bank of the river Ganges. The purpose of the assembly was to highlight the teachings of Buddha. The Kannauj Assembly was followed by another spectacular assembly at Prayaga in the same year. While the Kannauj Assembly was a religious assembly to highlight Mahayanism, the Prayaga Assembly was an assembly of universal character for offerings of royal charities to all classes of people. It was known as the Maha Moksha Parishad.
