- Surya Pahar Temple (B-1): Situated in Goalpara, Assam, Sri Surya Pahar is a significant archaeological site featuring rock-cut deities, including a circular stone slab representing the Sun.
- Suryanaar Swamy Temple (C-4): Located near Kumbhakonam in Tamil Nadu, this is one of the rare temples dedicated to Surya Bhagavan in South India, built during the Chola period.
- Suryanarayana Temple (D-2): The Arasavilli Sun Temple in Andhra Pradesh is a 7th-century shrine where the sun's rays directly touch the feet of the deity twice a year.
Other options are incorrect as they misplace these regional landmarks, such as wrongly associating Modhera (Gujarat) with the listed names or swapping the Assam and Andhra Pradesh sites.
