Where is Shore Temple located in India?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. MahabalipuramD. महाबलीपुरम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Mahabalipuram.
According to the source, the Shore Temple is named so because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal.
The book states that it is a structural temple built with blocks of granite and dates from the 8th century AD.
It further says that at the time of its creation, the site was a busy port during the reign of Narasimhavarman II of the Pallava dynasty.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Shore Temple — Mahabalipuram — overlooks Bay of Bengal — Structural Temple — built with Granite Blocks — 8th Century AD — site was a Busy Port — Narasimhavarman II — Pallava Dynasty.
Kanchipuram, Chennai and Sarnath are distractors.
The source does not provide additional details about the temple's deities, inscriptions, architectural layout or later conservation in this entry.
Therefore those facts have not been added.
Quick revision: Shore Temple = Mahabalipuram = Bay of Bengal = 8th Century = Pallava Dynasty under Narasimhavarman II according to source.
Therefore option (d), Mahabalipuram, is correct.
सही उत्तर Mahabalipuram है। स्रोत के अनुसार Shore Temple का नाम इसलिए पड़ा क्योंकि यह Bay of Bengal के shore को overlook करता है। Book इसे granite blocks से बना structural temple बताती है और इसकी dating 8th century AD की देती है। Source आगे बताती है कि इसके निर्माण के समय यह स्थान Pallava dynasty के Narasimhavarman II के reign में एक busy port था। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Shore Temple — Mahabalipuram — Bay of Bengal — Structural Temple — Granite Blocks — 8th Century AD — Busy Port — Narasimhavarman II — Pallava Dynasty। Kanchipuram, Chennai और Sarnath distractors हैं। Source deity, inscriptions, detailed architecture या conservation history की information नहीं देती। इसलिए outside facts add नहीं किए गए हैं। Quick revision: Shore Temple = Mahabalipuram = Bay of Bengal = Pallava Dynasty। इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।
