Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D(विजयनगर)
द्रविड़ मंदिर निर्माण शैली में विजयनगर साम्राज्य का सबसे विशिष्ट योगदान 'कल्याण मंडप' (दिव्य विवाह मंडप) और अत्यधिक अलंकृत एवं नक्काशीदार खंभों वाले मंडप थे। कल्याण मंडप में उत्सवों के दौरान पीठासीन देव और देवी के पवित्र वैवाहिक अनुष्ठानों का भव्य आयोजन किया जाता था।
In Dravidian temple architecture, the most distinctive innovation of the Vijayanagara Empire was the construction of the 'Kalyana Mandapa' (divine marriage pavilion) featuring elaborately sculpted and carved monolithic pillars. The Kalyana Mandapa was dedicated to celebrating the ceremonial wedding rituals of the presiding deity and goddess during annual festivals.
