Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 7.

The magnificent Konark Sun Temple, built in the 13th century, is sculpted in the shape of a grand chariot. It is pulled by seven horses, which are traditionally believed to represent the seven days of the week or the seven colors of the rainbow. These spirited horses drag the stone chariot across 12 pairs of exquisitely carved wheels. This architectural marvel symbolizes the passage of time and the celestial journey of the Sun God across the sky.
