Reason (R) : The rulers of other dynasties have not followed this style.
Codes :
Answer: A
(A) is correct and (R) is false. The Panchayatana type of temple, with a main shrine and four subsidiary shrines at the corners, was introduced in the Gupta period, as seen in the Dashavatara temple at Deogarh.
The reason is false because the later dynasties did follow this style: the Panchayatana plan continued in the temples of the Pratiharas, Chandellas and others. So the options that call (R) correct are wrong.
