Solution

The correct option is C Garbhagriha
The Kandariya Mahadeva temple was built in 999 CE by the king Dhangadeva of the Chandela dynasty. In the temple, an ornamented gateway led to an entrance, and in the main hall (mahamandapa) dances were performed. The image of the chief deity was kept in the main shrine (garbhagriha). This was the place for ritual worship where only the king, his immediate family and priests gathered.
