KBC 14: The Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varansi is believed to get its name because Lord Brahma sacrificied ten animals of what kind there?

Options: 

Cow

Goat

Horse

Elephant

Answer: Horse

The name Rudrasaras was previously known in Indian scriptures as Dashashwamedh Ghat, which precisely means the Ghat of 10 sacrificed horses (Dash – ten, Ashwa – Horses, Medh – Sacrifice). At Rudrasaras, Lord Brahma installed two Shivlings and offered the lives of ten horses. Later, to honor him, Dashashwamedh Ghat was given to the location.

The Dashashwamedh Ghat is the first historically verified location associated with the Bharasiva king of the Naga dynasty, according to historical records, according to another perspective. After defeating the Kushan empire, the Bharashiva sacrificed horses at the Dashashwamedh Ghat to appease Shiva, their deity.
