Explanation

The question requires matching specific temples with their respective Indian states. Based on historical and geographical facts, the Dhamekh Stupa (often associated with Sarnath) is located in Uttar Pradesh. The Sun Temple, specifically the famous Konark Sun Temple, is situated in Odisha. The Brihadisvara Temple, a masterpiece of Chola architecture, is located in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. Therefore, the correct matching is: (A) Dhamekh Stupa - Uttar Pradesh (2), (B) Sun Temple - Odisha (3), and (C) Brihadisvara Temple - Tamil Nadu (1). This corresponds to the sequence A-2, B-3, C-1. While the provided snippets discuss general UPSC 2005 paper structures and temple schools, they do not explicitly list this specific matching question. However, internal historical knowledge confirms these locations as standard facts in Indian heritage and culture.
