Mahabalipuram was established by which dynasty
Answer: A
Mahabalipuram was established by the Pallava dynasty.
Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), a port near Chennai, was developed by the Pallava kings of Kanchipuram in the seventh and eighth centuries. It takes its name from Narasimhavarman I, called Mamalla, and its rock-cut rathas, cave temples, the Shore Temple and the great relief of Arjuna's Penance (or the Descent of the Ganga) are Pallava works, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Pandyas ruled from Madurai, the Cholas built the great temples of Thanjavur, and the Chalukyas of Badami were the Pallavas' rivals in the Deccan.
