Answer: (A)
\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>According to the Nalanda inscription<\/strong>, Dharmapala<\/strong>, the Pala ruler of Bengal, attacked Garhwal<\/strong>.
\nThis inscription is an important piece of evidence for the external invasions on the Kartikeyapura (Katyuri) kingdom<\/strong>.
\nThe Pala dynasty<\/strong> ruled Bengal and Bihar from the 8th to 12th century<\/strong> and were patrons of Buddhism<\/strong>.
\nDharmapala (c. 770\u2013810 CE)<\/strong> was a powerful ruler who conducted many military campaigns, and the attack on Garhwal was part of his imperial expansion.
Options (B), (C), and (D) are incorrect because the inscription refers to a military invasion<\/strong>, not the reverse, nor temple construction, nor trade relations.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
\n

Answer: (B)
\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>Statement I is correct because Nimbara and his son Ishtagana were followers of Shaivism<\/strong> and built several Shaiva temples at Jageshwar.
\nStatement II is correct because Samadevi<\/strong>, the wife of Lalitasuradeva<\/strong>, built a Vishnu (Narayana) temple<\/strong>, showing religious tolerance<\/strong>.
\nStatement III is correct because Bhudeva<\/strong> is described in the Bageshwar inscription<\/strong> as \u201cParamabuddha-shramana ripu\u201d<\/strong> (enemy of Buddhist monks).
\nStatement IV is incorrect because Vaishnava temples were also built<\/strong>, proving religious diversity.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
\n

Q3. Which statement best describes the religious and architectural importance of Jageshwar?
\n<\/strong>(A) Only Nimbara built temples at Jageshwar

Answer: (B)
\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>Jageshwar<\/strong> was the most important religious and architectural center of the Katyuri rulers<\/strong>.
Nimbara<\/strong> selected it as the most sacred Shaiva pilgrimage center (Dham)<\/strong> and built temple spires (Vimanas).
His son Ishtagana<\/strong> built the temples of Navadurga, Lakulisha (founder of Pashupata Shaivism), and Nataraja (dancing Shiva)<\/strong>.
Together, they made Jageshwar the main Shaiva center of Kumaon<\/strong>.
