Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Gaur

The correct answer is Gaur.

• Kadam Rasul Mosque is half a kilometer away from the Feroze Minar, built-in 1530.
• Kadam Rasool means Footprints of the Prophet. The mosque contains the footprints of Hazrat Muhammad on stone. On the four corners, there are four towers made of black marble.
• Opposite the Kadam Rasool Mosque stands the 17th-century tomb of Fateh Khan, a commander of Aurangzeb's army. This interesting structure was built in the Hindu Chala style.

• Alwar is one of the oldest cities in Rajasthan. Moosi Maharani Chhatri is Rani Moosi, which reflects the Indo-Islamic style of architecture.
• The city of Mandu is adorned with spell-binding Afghan architecture surrounded by baobab trees, native to Africa.
  • Floating over its own reflection, the Jahaz Mahal in Mandu looks like a ship that's about to sail.
  • However, for centuries this ship made of stone and mortar never did. Instead, it stood floating over the twin lakes, bearing a silent witness to Mandu's long, rich and varied history.
• Purnia is a city of Bihar, Purnea has a rich Hindu history and a glorious past. During Mughal rule, Purnea was an outlying military province.
