Correct answer: C
The Varaha Temple at Ahar (Udaipur) was constructed by Allat, a ruler of the Guhila (Guhilot) dynasty of Mewar. Ahar was an important early capital of the Guhila rulers, and several temples and historical monuments were built there during their reign.
The Varaha Temple is dedicated to Lord Varaha, the boar incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
