Correct
Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation:
Ruins of the door frame of Da Parbatia temple, a few kilometres away from Tezpur, is perhaps the finest and oldest specimen of sculptural art in Assam. Its carving is characteristic of the early Gupta school of sculpture.
The Negheriting Shiva Doul is a famous temple dedicated to lord Shiva situated at a hillock of Dergaon in the 37th National Highway in Golaghat district. The actual temple was built in the 8th century AD by the Kacharis. But after the demolition of the temple due to some natural calamities it was re-built by Ahom Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha in 1765. The temple was planned and designed by famous architect Ghanashyam Khonikar.
Sri Surya Pahar, also known as Sri Surjya Pahar, a site famous for archaeological remains, lies in the Goalpara district. Composed of 7 (Seven) peaks, spanning over an area of approx. 1400 acres (583.33 Hec)., which is located about 13 Kms away from Goalpara town, on the western side. Because of its archaeological importance, the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has protected this site of National Importance. It is also a historical site famous for its terracotta, wonderful and exquisite pieces of rock-cut sculpture depicting deities of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. This combination is a rare phenomenon.
Charaideo was the first capital of the Ahom dynasty. The word Charaideo has been derived from three Tai Ahom words, Che-Rai-Doi. Che means City or Town, Rai means Shine or Dazzle and Doi means Hill or Mountain. In short, Charaideo means, “a shining town situated on a hill top.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Which of the following statements is correct about the Assamese ballad, ‘Borphukanar Geet’?
Correct
Answer: The correct option is B.
Explanation: From 1787 to 1827 was a very unhappy period for the Assamese people. The Kings had degenerated and dissensions had sprung up among the nobility. Finally, about 1824 Badan Borphukon, the Governor of Lower Assam, had the Burmese invited into Assam in order to spite the talented Burha Gohain (i.e., Prime Minister) Purnananda. This was followed by indescribable ravages and atrocities over the people.
As is well known, in 1826 Assam passed into British hands, after the signing of the Treaty of Yandaboo.
This period was a severe blow to the uninterrupted development of Assam’s cultural and political life. The events–with a few inaccuracies–bearing on the Burmese invasion and the loss of Assam’s independence have been sung in the Barphukonar Geet or Ballad of Barphukon.Incorrect
