The Prarthana Samaj was established at ______ in the year 1867.
The correct answer is Bombay.
The Prarthana Samaj ("Prayer Society") was founded in Bombay in 1867 by Dr. Atmaram Pandurang, inspired by Keshab Chandra Sen's visit to Maharashtra. Prominent members included Mahadev Govind Ranade, R. G. Bhandarkar and N. G. Chandavarkar.
It was a socio-religious reform movement in Western India that promoted monotheistic worship and campaigned against caste rigidity, child marriage, and the exclusion of women, while supporting widow remarriage and women's education.
Delhi and Poona were not the founding sites, and Calcutta was the birthplace of the older Brahmo Samaj (1828), which influenced the Prarthana Samaj.
