Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. Dashavatara TempleD. दशावतार मंदिर
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Dashavatara Temple.
According to the source, Panchayatana is an architectural style in which a main shrine is constructed on a rectangular plinth with four smaller subsidiary shrines situated at the four corners, making a total of five shrines.
The book gives the Dashavatara Vishnu Temple at Deogarh, Uttar Pradesh, as an example of this style.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Panchayatana Architecture — Main Shrine — Rectangular Plinth — Four Smaller Subsidiary Shrines at Four Corners — Total Five Shrines — Example: Dashavatara Vishnu Temple — Deogarh — Uttar Pradesh.
Sun Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Brihadeeswara Temple are distractors in this question.
The source does not discuss the dynasty, construction period or detailed sculptural features of Dashavatara Temple in this entry, so those details have not been added.
The word 'Panchayatana' can be revised through the source's numerical description: one central
main shrine plus four subsidiary shrines equals five shrines.
Quick revision: Panchayatana Style → 1 Main + 4 Corner Shrines = 5; Example = Dashavatara Vishnu Temple, Deogarh, U.P.
Therefore option (d) is correct.
सही उत्तर Dashavatara Temple है। स्रोत के अनुसार Panchayatana एक architectural style है जिसमें main shrine rectangular plinth पर बनाया जाता है और उसके four corners पर four smaller subsidiary shrines बनाए जाते हैं। इस प्रकार total five shrines होते हैं। Book इसका example Dashavatara Vishnu Temple, Deogarh, Uttar Pradesh देती है। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Panchayatana Architecture — Main Shrine — Rectangular Plinth — Four Corner Subsidiary Shrines — Total Five Shrines — Example: Dashavatara Vishnu Temple — Deogarh — Uttar Pradesh। Sun Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple और Brihadeeswara Temple distractors हैं। Source Dashavatara Temple की dynasty, construction period या sculptural details इस entry में नहीं देती, इसलिए outside facts add नहीं किए गए हैं। Panchayatana को source की numerical structure से आसानी से याद किया जा सकता है: 1 main shrine + 4 subsidiary shrines = 5 shrines। Quick revision: Panchayatana Style = Five-Shrine Layout; Example = Dashavatara Temple, Deogarh, U.P. इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।
