Explanation

The Kailasa Temple at Ellora was built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty (King Krishna I) around the 8th century CE. It is a magnificent rock-cut temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Pallavas built rock-cut temples at Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram), not Ellora. The Mauryas and Chalukyas were not associated with this temple.
