Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The largest north Indian temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, Ranbireshwar Temple is one of Jammu's biggest crowd pullers. Located along the busy streets close to the Secretariat, this ancient shrine was built back in 1883 by Maharaja Ranbir Singh. The temple is divided into two distinct halls, decorated with images of the Ganesha and Kartikeya respectively and the highlight here is the mammoth 8 feet tall Shiva lingam (made from black marble) looming high in the central sanctum of the temple.
