Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Time divisions.
The 24 carved wheels of the Konark Sun Temple represent the Time divisions. They symbolize the 24 hours of a day, while the eight primary spokes in each wheel represent the eight prahars (three-hour segments) of the day. Intricately designed, these wheels allow observers to calculate the exact time by tracking the shadow cast on the spokes.
