Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct matching of dynasties to their architectural contributions is as follows: The Chalukyas are renowned for the Pattadakal Temples in Karnataka, which served as a center for royal rituals and featured structural innovations like the Virupaksha temple [2]. The Hoysalas built the Kesava Temple at Somnathpur (also known as the Chennakesava Temple), a prime example of their unique stellate or star-shaped architectural style [3]. The Pandyas contributed significantly to the Chidambaram temple complex, specifically the eastern gopura, which was part of their extensive patronage of temple expansions in Tamil Nadu. Finally, the Eastern Gangas are the creators of the world-famous Sun Temple at Konark in Odisha, a masterpiece of Kalinga architecture [2]. This sequence corresponds to the code 2-3-4-1.
