D Correct answer
Explanation

In the Ramayana, when Rama went on his 14-year exile, he asked Bharata to rule Ayodhya in his absence. Bharata requested Rama's padukalu (royal sandals) as a symbol of authority and ruled as a regent, placing the sandals on the throne rather than sitting on it himself. The other items are not associated with this symbolic transfer of power.
