The correct answer is Adivaraha Cave.
The Adivaraha Cave Temple at Mamallapuram is notable for containing sculpted portraits of the Pallava kings Simhavishnu (c. 575-600 AD) and his son Mahendravarman I (c. 600-630 AD), along with their consorts. These portraits are considered important historical depictions of the royal family.
