  1. Which of the following temples does not belong to the Cholas ?
    1. Brihadishwara
    2. Koranganatha
    3. Kalilashnatha
    4. Airavateshwar
Correct Option: C

Kalishnatha temples do not belong to the Cholas. King Rajasimha, of the Pallava dynasty, built this Shiva temple in the early 8th century. It is an early structure temple, built of sandstone, and partly renovated in recent times. the modest scale of the temple, and the closeness of its enclosing wall, lend a feeling of intimacy to the surroundings. Kailasanatha contains in embryo many of the features of the rapidly emerging South Indian style: gopuras, pilastered walls, a pyramidal Shikhara, and a perimeter wall enclosing the complex.
