The correct answer is option 1, Orissa. Niyamgiri hill is indeed located in the Kala-handi district of Orissa. The Niyamgiri hill is a significant geographical feature in the state of Orissa, which is now known as Odisha. It is known for its rich biodiversity and is home to several indigenous communities. The hill is also known for its mineral resources, particularly bauxite. It gained national and international attention due to the mining controversy surrounding the area, with environmentalists and indigenous communities opposing the mining operations that were proposed by a multinational mining company. The Niyamgiri hill is an important site both ecologically and culturally in the state of Orissa.
