  1. 1Parashurameswar Temple, Bhubaneswar
  2. 2Mukteswar Temple, Bhubaneswar
  3. 3Lingaraj Temple, Bhubaneswar

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is Parashurameswar Temple, Bhubaneswar (c. 7th–8th century CE), Mukteswar Temple, Bhubaneswar (c. 10th century CE), Lingaraj Temple, Bhubaneswar (c. 11th century CE), and Sun Temple, Konark (c. 13th century CE).
The architectural progression of Odishan temples evolves sequentially from the early Kalinga style of Parashurameswar Temple (7th–8th century CE), to the transitional Mukteswar Temple (10th century CE), followed by the mature Lingaraj Temple (11th century CE), and culminates with the magnificent chariot-styled Sun Temple at Konark (13th century CE).
