Consider the following pairs : (Historical place) (Well-known for) 1. Burzahom : Rock-cut shrines 2. Chandraketugarh : Terracotta art 3. Ganeshwar : Copper artefacts Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

Direct description of Burzahom places it in the Neolithic period with pit-houses and stone tools, not in the later periods when rock-cut shrines are known to appear.

A student could note the chronological gap and check that most named rock-cut shrine complexes belong to much later historic periods, making it less likely for a Neolithic site like Burzahom to feature such shrines.

Defines rock-cut cave groups (Ajanta, Ellora, Bagh, Udayagiri) and associates them with distinctive later stylistic developments.

A student can compare the geographic and temporal centres of famous rock-cut shrines with Burzahom’s Neolithic Kashmir location to judge plausibility.

States that major rock-cut shrines (Ellora, Elephanta) belong to specific medieval dynasties (e.g., Rashtrakutas) and display complex monolithic workmanship.

A student could use this rule that sophisticated rock-cut shrines are products of later historic polities to infer that an Early/Neolithic site like Burzahom probably lacks such monuments.

Describes Kashmir’s karewa deposits and valley geology (lacustrine deposits rather than extensive exposed rock formations).

A student might combine this geological note with a map or geology reference to assess whether local rock suitable for large rock-cut shrines would commonly occur around Burzahom.

Lists Himalayan pilgrimage centres (e.g., Amarnath, Hazratbal) as important shrines in the region but treats them as pilgrimage sites rather than rock-cut cave shrines.

A student could use this to separate ‘shrine/pilgrimage centre’ types from ‘rock-cut cave’ types and then ask which category Burzahom fits historically and archaeologically.
