Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Chandelas of Jejakabhukti

The correct answer is the Chandelas of Jejakabhukti.

• The Chandelas of Jejakabhukti were a royal dynasty in India.
• The Bundelkhand region between the 9th and the 13th centuries was of their dominance.
• The Chandelas initially ruled as feudatories of the Gurjara-Pratiharas of Kanyakubja.

• The Chandel dynasty is famous in Indian history for Maharaja Rao Vidyadhara, who repulsed the attacks of Mahmud of Ghazni and also for his temples art and sculpture.
• They become more popular for the artistically sculptured temples, made during their rule in Central India. These temples are unique and more talked among people, due to the introduction of eroticism as one of the subjects in sculpture work, carried out in outer-walls of temples.
