Which one of the following was the first to be declared UNESCO world heritage sites in India?

  • A.Ajanta and Ellora caves
  • B.Buddhist Monuments at Sanchi
  • C.Churches and Convents of Goa
  • D.Khajuraho Group of Monuments

Answer: A

The first sites in India to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List were in 1983: the Ajanta Caves, the Ellora Caves, Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal. Of the options, Ajanta and Ellora caves therefore came first. The Churches and Convents of Goa and the Khajuraho Group of Monuments were inscribed later, in 1986, and the Buddhist Monuments at Sanchi in 1989. The question asks which was the first declared, so the 1983 listing decides it. The official key is Ajanta and Ellora caves.
