Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Indian Culture and HeritageAncient art and architecture
- ASamarangana-Sutradhara : A scientific work on ancient Indian architecture
- BHarmika : A style of temple architecture originating under the Chola kings
- CVimana : A feature of Dravidian temples
- DKutagarashala : A pointed-roof hut where travelling mendicants halted
Explanation
Harmika is the railing-like pavilion atop a Buddhist stupa's dome, as at Sanchi, not a style of temple architecture originating under the Cholas. Samarangana-Sutradhara (A), vimana as a Dravidian temple feature (C), and kutagarashala (D) are all correctly matched. Hence B is the not-correctly-matched pair.
