Which one of the following statements is correct?
A
Ajanta Caves lie in the gorge of Waghora river.
Correct Answer
B
Sanchi Stupa lies in the gorge of Chambal river.
C
Pandu-lena Cave Shrines lie in the gorge of Narmada river.
D
Amaravati Stupa lies in the gorge of Godavari river.
Explanation
The Ajanta Caves are correctly identified as being situated in the horseshoe-shaped gorge of the Waghora River in Maharashtra. Option (D) is a common distractor, but the Amaravati Stupa is actually located on the banks of the Krishna River, not the Godavari. This question tests the core concept of the geographical and topographical associations of major ancient Indian architectural sites.
