Amarakantak
Omkareshwar
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
A.1 only
C.1 and 3 only
D.1,2 and 3
B.2 and 3 only
Correct Answer: Option A
Arasavalli is well-known for its Sun Temple.
Amarakantak is known for the origin of the Narmada River and temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and Maa Narmada, but not specifically for Sun temples.
Omkareshwar is an island in the shape of 'Om' and is a significant Hindu pilgrimage site with a famous Shiva temple, but it is not primarily known for Sun temples.
Therefore, only Arasavalli is famous for a Sun temple.
Hence, option a is correct.
