Explanation: The Yadu dynasty of Singhpur emerged as a local ruling lineage during the early medieval period of Indian history, with its rule generally dated to the 6th–7th centuries CE. This period corresponds to post-Gupta India, when several regional powers arose and established independent political, religious, and cultural identities. The activity of the Yadu dynasty fits well within this era, particularly when small feudal centers were developing in the Himalayan foothills and the Yamuna basin.
Options (A) and (B) relate to pre-Gupta or Gupta periods, which predate this dynasty, while option (D) corresponds to a later era marked by the rise of the Katyuri and Pala dynasties. Therefore, option (C) is historically accurate.
Q2. From which major source do we obtain information about the Yadu dynasty rulers?
(A) Kalsi inscription
(B) Lakhāmandal inscription of Princess Ishvara
(C) Prayag Prashasti inscription
(D) Ashokan edicts

Explanation: The most important source of information on the Yadu dynasty rulers is the Lakhāmandal inscription of Princess Ishvara. This inscription provides not only genealogical details but also mentions the names of 12 rulers across 11 generations, indicating a long and continuous lineage.
Option (A) relates to Mauryan-period Ashokan inscriptions; option (C) records the conquests of Samudragupta and is unrelated to the Yadu dynasty; option (D) concerns Ashoka’s religious propagation. Hence, option (B) is correct.

Explanation: The founder of the Yadu dynasty of Singhpur was Shri Senavarman, and his capital was located at Singhpur in the Yamuna region. Singhpur held strategic importance due to its proximity to trade routes and religious centers.
Option (A) refers to the ruler of Kamarupa (Assam), option (B) to the Mauryan dynasty, and option (D) names a royal woman rather than a founder. Therefore, the correct answer is (C).

Her most notable religious contribution was the construction of a grand Shiva temple at Lakhāmandal, reflecting the prominence of Shaivism and the role of royal women in religious patronage.
Options (B), (C), and (D) are historically inconsistent and relate to unrelated dynasties and periods. Thus, option (A) is correct.
