Answer & Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Bahu is associated with the Bahu Fort, which is located in Jammu. The fort is believed to have been originally built by Raja Bahulochan, the ruler of the region around 3000 years ago. Bahu Fort served as a significant stronghold and a capital for the Dogra rulers, particularly the rulers of the Jammu Kingdom, before the foundation of the modern city of Jammu by Maharaja Gulab Singh in the 19th century.
Dharanagri refers to an ancient capital of the region, traditionally believed to be associated with the early Dogra dynasty. The exact period is not clearly documented, but it is known to have been an important administrative center in the early history of Jammu before the establishment of the city of Jammu as a prominent center by later rulers.
Airava is considered to be another ancient name connected to the region. While not much is specifically documented about Airava, it is often included in historical references to ancient capitals or significant settlements in the Jammu region. Like Dharanagri, it is believed to have been part of the early Dogra rule.
Madar Desh is not recognized as an ancient capital in the Jammu region. There are no significant historical records or references linking it to the capitals or ancient settlements of the Jammu Kingdom or any other early regional powers. This is why it is identified as the incorrect option.
Conclusion:
Bahu and
Dharanagri were associated with early Dogra rulers and served as capitals in the Jammu region.
Airava is another ancient name tied to the region's historical significance.
Madar Desh does not have historical significance as a capital in this region, making it the correct answer for the question.
