One of the striking features of Ancient India is megalithic burial monuments. These are mostly found scattered in which part of India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → South Parts
Megaliths (from the Greek for ‘big stones’) are stone structures set up over burial sites, a practice that began about 3,000 years ago. Some are circles of stones, some standing slabs, and some stone chambers holding the dead with pots and iron tools. They are found in the Deccan, the north-east and Kashmir, but most of them are scattered across south India, in present-day Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
