Solution

The correct option is A Charupallam
The Rajarajeshwara temple in Tanjore has one of the tallest shikharas of its time. An incline was created to lift the heavy stones required in the construction of the shikhara. This incline was later dismantled but a village near the temple was named as Charupallam or the 'Village of Incline'.
