Short answer — Türkiye
A good cover letter is one page and covers six points: who you are, why you are travelling, exact dates, where you will stay, who is paying, and what brings you back. Write it in plain language and keep every claim consistent with the documents.
Why this happens
The cover letter is the assessor's map of your file. A clear one makes the rest of the pack easier to verify.
At Gateway International / eVisa in India, Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs sets the underlying rule and the centre applies it at the counter, so the fix below is the same whichever Indian city you apply from.
