Question - 599


Connect.

Answer: The US State of Ohio has special days named after the three people in the picture (clockwise): Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, and (oddly enough) the singer Shreya Ghoshal. Ameya, mekie (wrong singer), Dinesh, Kaushik, and Manasi got it. Nicely done - especially give the obscurity of this piece of trivia.

American state Ohio has honoured Bollywood playback singer Shreya Ghoshal for her contribution to the music industry by declaring June 26 as ‘Shreya Ghoshal Day’.

Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda are the only 2 other Indians who have days named after them. The flag is that of Ohio

The flag is of the state of Ohio.
The 3 people are from India. Clockwise from top right corner: Swami Vivekananda, Ravindranath Tagore, Shreya Ghoshal. All of them were awarded a day in their name by the state of Ohio to honor their contribution to the world.
