Solution

The correct option is A

Pallavas


Answer: (A) Pallava

The city of Mamallapuram was established in the 7th century AD by King Narasimhavarman I of Pallava. From the granite rock face, the mandapa or pavilions and the rathas or shrines constructed like temple chariots are hewn, while the famous Shore Temple, erected half a century later, is constructed from the dressed rock.
