Which early dynasty constructed the famous Sun Temple at Modhera?

The correct answer is: a) Chavda

The Chavda dynasty was a Hindu dynasty that ruled Gujarat in western India from the 8th to the 13th centuries. They were the first dynasty to rule Gujarat and were responsible for the construction of many important temples, including the Sun Temple at Modhera.

The Sun Temple at Modhera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most important temples in Gujarat. It was built in the 11th century by King Bhimdev I of the Chavda dynasty. The temple is dedicated to the sun god Surya and is a fine example of Chalukya architecture.

• The Maitraka dynasty ruled Gujarat from the 5th to the 8th centuries.
• The Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty ruled northern India from the 7th to the 11th centuries.
