They were built by the Pallava dynasty in the 7th and 8th centuries CE. The temples are carved out of a single piece of granite and are some of the finest examples of Pallava architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Pallava rock-cut architecture is characterized by its use of intricate carvings and sculptures. The temples are often decorated with scenes from Hindu mythology and epics. The Seven Pagodas are no exception, and they are home to some of the most beautiful and well-preserved sculptures of the Pallava period.<\/p>\n<p>The Seven Pagodas are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. They are a must-see for anyone interested in Indian art and architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the Seven Pagodas accurately.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option b) Chola temple architecture is characterized by its use of brick and mortar. The Chola temples are often decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures, but they are not carved out of a single piece of granite.<\/li>\n<li>Option c) Pandyan monolithic temples are also carved out of a single piece of granite, but they are not located in Mamallapuram. The Pandyan temples are located in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.<\/li>\n<li>Option d) Chera cave temples are located in Kerala, India. They are not carved out of a single piece of granite, and they are not as well-known as the Seven Pagodas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Pallava rock-cut architecture&#8221;
