The third Tortoise Festival, which aimed to create awareness about endangered species of tortoise, took place in February 2015. Out of the given options, the festival was held at Hajong Lake, Assam (option 1).

However, let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answers.

Option 2 suggests that the festival occurred at Chilka Lake, Odisha. Chilka Lake is a significant brackish water lagoon known for being the largest wintering ground for migratory birds on the Indian subcontinent. There is no evidence or information suggesting that the Tortoise Festival was held at Chilka Lake.

Option 3 mentions Loktak Lake in Manipur. Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in northeast India and is famous for its phumdis (floating marshy islands). Again, there is no indication that the Tortoise Festival happened here.

Similarly, option 4 suggests that the festival took place at Umiam Lake in Meghalaya. Umiam Lake is also a prominent tourist spot known for its scenic beauty, but it is not associated with the Tortoise Festival.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, Hajong Lake, Assam.
