Q35. Consider the following information :
Archaeological Site State Description
1. Chandraketugarh Odisha Trading Port town
2. Inamgaon Maharashtra Chalcolithic site
3. Mangadu Kerala Megalithic site
4. Salihundam Andhra Pradesh Rock-cut cave shrines
In which of the above rows is given information correctly matched ?
Detailed Solution
Let's evaluate each pair: 1. Chandraketugarh is an ancient trading port town, but it is located in West Bengal, not Odisha. So, pair 1 is incorrectly matched. 2. Inamgaon is a well-known Chalcolithic site located in Maharashtra.
So, pair 2 is correctly matched. 3. Mangadu, in Kerala, is a recently discovered prehistoric site known for its megalithic structures. So, pair 3 is correctly matched. 4. Salihundam, located in Andhra Pradesh, is famous for its Buddhist monastic complex, including stupas and viharas, but not specifically for rock-cut cave shrines.
So, pair 4 is incorrectly matched. Therefore, only pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched. This question requires detailed factual knowledge of ancient Indian archaeological sites.
