Select the correct chronological sequence of Gupta temple architecture :
Answer: A
The keyed chronological order of the Gupta temples is Cave (Temple) No. 17 at Sanchi, the Shiva temple at Bhumra, the Dasavatara temple at Deogarh, and the brick temple at Bhitargaon. The Sanchi temple is a flat roofed structure of the early 5th century, the Bhumra temple adds a shrine with a porch, Deogarh is the mature form with a tower (shikhara) from the early 6th century, and Bhitargaon is a brick temple with a tall tower.
The options that begin with Bhumra, Bhitargaon or Deogarh start from a more developed form than the plain Sanchi temple, so they do not give the keyed order.
