Correct Answer: Krishan-I


Solution : The correct option is Krishan-I.

Rashtrakuta ruler Krishna I (r. 756-773 CE) constructed the great Kailash temple of Siva at Ellora. It is a monolithic temple, which means it was cut from a single rock. It is one of the world's largest and most magnificent rock-cut temples, dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva. The Kailash temple is made of a single rock that is more than 100 metres high and 50 metres broad. The temple is separated into three levels: the ground, the centre, and the top. The Kailash temple is a work of art in rock-cut architecture. It is a monument to the Rashtrakuta builders' skill and craftsmanship. It is also an important example of a Hindu temple architecture.
