2. Personification of river Ganga and river Yamuna.
3. The deities are kept inside.

Choose the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer: Nagara
Notes: North Indian temples are of Nagara Style, featuring multiple curvilinear sikharas and towers, with the Shikhara as the focal point. Ganga and Yamuna are personified at the Sanctum Sanctorum entrance, and temple boundaries are less emphasized, with higher pedestals and deities inside. South Indian temples follow Dravidian Style, characterized by a single pyramidical sikhara and prominent Gopuram. Dwarpalas guard the Sanctum Sanctorum, temple boundaries are significant, pedestals are ground-level, and deities are placed outside.
