      Question

      Who commissioned the construction of the Kailasa Temple

      in Ellora, Maharashtra?
      A Chalukya King Pulakeshin II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Pallava King Mahendravarman I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rashtrakuta King Krishna I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Chola King Rajaraja I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Kailasa temple lacks a dedicatory inscription, but there is no doubt that it was commissioned by a Rashtrakuta ruler. Its construction is generally attributed to the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. 756-773 CE), based on two epigraphs that link the temple to "Krishnaraja"
