Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

In 2023, during the 45th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, two Indian sites were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List:

  • Santiniketan (West Bengal): Established by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore and later developed by Rabindranath Tagore as a university town (Visva-Bharati).
  • Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas (Karnataka): This serial nomination includes the Hoysala temples at Belur (Chennakeshava Temple), Halebidu (Hoysaleswara Temple), and Somanathapura (Keshava Temple).

Dholavira (a Harappan city in Gujarat) and the Ramappa Temple (Kakatiya Rudreshwara Temple in Telangana) were both inscribed in 2021 during the 44th session. Therefore, only sites 2 and 3 match the 2023 declaration.
