On Benaras Hindu University professor KK Mishra's account: In the 17th century, when Mughal Emperor Aurabgzeb was on his binge of destroying temples, he was notified by his soldiers, of an old Hanuman temple in a Varanasi village. The idol of Hanuman in this temple was unqique, as it was black in colour. When the Mughal soldiers arrived, the villagers fought back valiantly, and forced the soldiers to a beating retreat. The village got its name after this victory.
Now, 450 years later, the village has got a 'second victory', according to its villagers. The temple is still called, literally, "the temple of the Black Hanuman". Name this village, and what is this 'second victory'?
[Highlight blank after arrow for the answer]
=> Jayapur - ''Jaya" meaning victory - the 'second victory' is Narendra Modi's adoption of Jayapur, under a new scheme wherein MPs of both houses, identify a village and try to develop it.
