Pair 1 is correctly matched. Pandharpur is a famous pilgrimage town in Maharashtra, situated on the banks of the Chandrabhaga River, which is a local name for the Bhima River as it takes a crescent-moon shape there.

Pair 2 is correctly matched. Tiruchirappalli (also known as Trichy) is a major city in Tamil Nadu, located on the banks of the Cauvery River, one of the most important rivers in South India.

Pair 3 is incorrectly matched. Hampi, the UNESCO World Heritage Site and former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, is situated on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, a major tributary of the Krishna River. The Malaprabha River is another tributary of the Krishna, flowing through Karnataka, but Hampi is specifically on the Tungabhadra.
