Answer 1

The correct option is A The Badami cave temples

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The cave temples in Badami are located in the Bagalkot district, created by the Chalukya kings. It is carved in levels: The first three temples have Vaishnavite and Shaivite dedications, while the fourth one has carvings of Jain Tirthankaras.
The Belur, Halebid and Somnathpura temples, Rosario Cathedral in Mangaluru and the Nawaz Darga of Kalaburagi are the monuments depicting Hindu, Christian and Islamic faith. None of these are examples of a single place sharing displays of multiple religions.
