Abhaneri is an archaeological site in which district?

Explanation

The surrounding tourist area is often associated with Jaipur or Alwar, but Abhaneri is in Dausa district. Rajasthan Tourism lists Chand Baori (Stepwell) - Abhaneri and Harshat Mata Temple - Abhaneri separately among Dausa attractions. Its Abhaneri Festival note also identifies Abhaneri as a village in Dausa district on the Agra road. The village is known for the famous Chand Baori stepwell and the Harshat Mata Temple, associated with the 8th-9th century Pratihara period. For RAS, remember all three under Dausa: Abhaneri, Chand Baori and Harshat Mata Temple.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Alwar is wrong because Rajasthan Tourism lists Abhaneri among Dausa attractions and identifies the village as being in Dausa district.
• (B) Jaipur is wrong because Rajasthan Tourism mentions Jaipur only as a distance reference from Abhaneri; it places Abhaneri in Dausa district.
• (C) Tonk is wrong because Rajasthan Tourism associates Abhaneri, Chand Baori and Harshat Mata Temple with Dausa, not Tonk.

Concept

This question asks you to identify the correct district of a monument or archaeological site in Rajasthan's art and culture. Such questions recur in RAS, where the districts of temples, forts and stepwells are often tested.
