Ghatikas | Colleges generally attached to the temples |<br/><br/>Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Answer
1 and 3
The prompt as provided is incomplete: the actual term-description pairs are missing, so a fresh factual verification of each item is not possible from the given text alone. Since you state the official UPSC answer key gives (d), I update the derived answer to (d). Disclaimer: this is based on the official key, not on independent re-analysis of the missing pairs; if the full pairs are shared, I can verify each one item-wise.
