Q91 (CDS-I/2006) History & Culture › Medieval India › South Indian empires Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The pair 'Pallavas: Vatapi' is incorrectly matched. The Pallavas established their kingdom in Tondaimandalam with Kanchipuram as their capital [1][t1]. Vatapi (modern-day Badami in Karnataka) was actually the capital of the Badami Chalukyas, established by Pulakesin I [t1][t4]. The Pallavas and Chalukyas were long-standing rivals, and while the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I famously captured Vatapi and assumed the title 'Vatapikonda', it was never their dynastic capital [1][c3]. The other pairs are correctly matched: the Hoysalas ruled from Dwarasamudra (Halebidu) [c2], the Pandyas were centered at Madurai [c2][t1], and the Yadavas (Seuna dynasty) ruled from Devagiri [c2][t2]. These dynasties represented the major political powers in the Deccan and South India during the early medieval and medieval periods.
