Consider the following pairs : Place of Pilgrimage : Location 1. Srisailam : Nallamala Hills 2. Omkareshwar : Satmala Hills 3. Pushkar : Mahadeo Hills Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
A
1 only
Correct Answer
B
2 and 3 only
C
1 and 3 only
D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Srisailam is correctly matched with the Nallamala Hills in Andhra Pradesh, whereas Omkareshwar is located in the Mandhata hills (Vindhya/Satpura range) and Pushkar is situated in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan. Option (d) is the most tempting error if one confuses regional hill ranges, as Satmala Hills are actually in Maharashtra and Mahadeo Hills are in Madhya Pradesh, far from the sites listed. This question tests the core concept of mapping significant cultural and religious landmarks to their specific physiographic and mountain range locations across India.
