A group of 5 Monolithic rock-cutshrines at Mahabalipuram were excavated during the rule of the Pallava King..............................
Answer: C
The five monolithic shrines were made under Narasimhavarman I.
The group known as the Pancha Rathas at Mahabalipuram, each cut from a single outcrop of granite, is attributed to the reign of Narasimhavarman I Mamalla (about 630-668 CE), after whom the port town was called Mamallapuram.
Mahendravarman I, his father, began the Pallava rock-cut tradition with excavated cave temples such as those at Mandagapattu, not free-standing monolithic rathas. Simhavishnu was an earlier king of the line, and Nandivarman II ruled in the eighth century, after the rathas were made.
