Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Sun and Shadow Direction**: In the morning, the Sun is in the East. Consequently, all shadows fall exactly towards the West.
2. **Vikram's Orientation**: We are given that Vikram's shadow falls exactly towards his left-hand side. Since the shadow falls West, Vikram's left hand points West. For a person's left hand to point West, they must be facing North (since facing North puts East on the right and West on the left).
3. **Shailesh's Orientation**: Vikram and Shailesh are standing with their backs towards each other. Since Vikram is facing North, Shailesh must be facing the opposite direction, which is South.

Thus, Shailesh was facing South.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
