Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Medieval Indian rulers are identified by the specific kingdom and dynasty they belonged to; a monument, city, or region is tied to whichever ruling house actually built or governed it, not to every prominent contemporary figure of that era.

Rana Sanga, born Sangram Singh, was the Sisodia Rajput ruler of the Mewar kingdom, with its capital at Chittorgarh, reigning from 1509 to 1528. He is best known for uniting a large confederacy of Rajput rulers against Babur at the Battle of Khanwa in 1527, after earlier consolidating Mewar's power against the Delhi Sultanate under Ibrahim Lodi.

  • Malwa was an independent Sultanate ruled by the Khalji dynasty of Malwa (rulers such as Mahmud Khalji), a rival Muslim power of the era rather than a Rajput clan kingdom.

  • Khajuraho is renowned for temples built by the Chandela dynasty in the 10th-11th centuries, several centuries before the 16th-century period this item concerns, and an unrelated dynasty.

  • Mandu was the fortified capital city of the Malwa Sultanate, home to rulers such as Hoshang Shah -- a Sultanate seat, not a Rajput clan capital.

Hence, Rana Sanga's kingdom and dynastic association is Mewar.
