   Answer: (1) 1 only

   उत्तर: (1) केवल 1

   The Mahanavami dibba in the royal centre of Vijayanagara is located on one of the highest points in the city; it is a massive platform (base of about 11,000 sq ft, height about 40 ft) that once supported a wooden structure and was used for the Mahanavami festival rituals. The Virupaksha temple stands in the sacred centre on the bank of the Tungabhadra, not on this platform, so only statement 1 is correct.
