The temples are believed to have been built in the 12th century CE, during the reign of the Chola dynasty. The temples are carved out of a single rock face and are dedicated to the Hindu deities Shiva, Vishnu, and Durga. The temples are an important example of early Chola architecture and are a popular tourist destination.<\/p>\n<p>Option A: The 8th century CE is too early. The Chola dynasty did not come to power until the 9th century CE.<\/p>\n<p>Option C: The 15th century CE is too late. The Chola dynasty declined in the 13th century CE and ceased to exist in the 14th century CE.<\/p>\n<p>Option D: The 18th century CE is incorrect. The rock-cut temples in Vizhinjam were built in the 12th century CE, not the 18th century CE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;8th century CE&#8221; option2=&#8221;12th century CE&#8221;
