Explanation

Arasavalli is home to the 7th-century Suryanarayana Swamy Temple, a prominent Sun temple in Andhra Pradesh where the sun's rays are designed to touch the deity's feet twice a year. Amarakantak and Omkareshwar are incorrect as they are major pilgrimage sites primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Narmada River, rather than solar worship. This question tests the core concept of identifying significant ancient and medieval Indian temples and their specific presiding deities.
