The Megalithic site __________ is a site on the river Ghod, a tributary of the Bhima.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 4  i.e.  Inamgaon .

The Megalithic site Pottru is located on the river Ghod, which is a tributary of the Bhima River. Pottru is an important archaeological site in Maharashtra, known for its megalithic burial structures and artifacts dating back to the Iron Age. It provides valuable insights into the early agricultural and pastoral communities of the region. Other well-known megalithic sites like Hire Benakal are in Karnataka, Hallur is also in Karnataka, and Inamgaon is a Chalcolithic site near Pune, Maharashtra, but not on the Ghod River. Hence, Pottru is the correct site on the river Ghod.

Incorrect Options:

  1. Hire Benakal – Located in Karnataka, known for its dolmens, not situated on the Ghod River.

  2. Pottru – Not a prominent or widely recognized Megalithic site related to the Ghod River.

  3. Hallur – Another important archaeological site in Karnataka, but located near the Tungabhadra River, not the Ghod.
