Consider the following pairs:
Historical Place Well-known for
1. Burzahom Rock-cut shrines
2. Chandraketugarh Terracotta art
3. Ganeshwar Copper artefacts
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

The correct answer is 2 and 3 only.

Let us analyze each pair given in the question to determine whether it is correctly matched:

1. Burzahom - Rock-cut shrines: Incorrectly Matched
Burzahom is a famous Neolithic site located in the Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is well-known for its unique pit-dwellings (subterranean dwellings), polished stone tools, bone tools, and megaliths, rather than rock-cut shrines. Rock-cut architecture in India developed much later (for example, at sites like Barabar Caves, Ajanta, and Ellora).

2. Chandraketugarh - Terracotta art: Correctly Matched
Chandraketugarh is an ancient archaeological site located near the Vidyadhari river in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. It was a major urban center and river port flourishing from the Maurya to the Gupta period. The site is widely celebrated for its exquisitely crafted terracotta artefacts, figurines, and plaques depicting deities, social life, and narrative themes.

3. Ganeshwar - Copper artefacts: Correctly Matched
Ganeshwar is an archaeological site located in the Sikar district of Rajasthan. It is the type-site for the Ganeshwar-Jodhpura culture, dating back to the pre-Harappan/early Harappan era. Situated near the copper-rich Khetri belt, the site yielded a massive quantity of copper artefacts, including arrowheads, spearheads, chisels, fish hooks, bangles, and rings, which supplied copper items to the Harappan civilization.

Therefore, pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
