The correct answer is option 3, Mahabalipuram.

The Monolithic Rathas are rock-cut temples that were built by the Pallava dynasty in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. These temples were constructed in the 7th century and are considered a significant architectural marvel. The term "monolithic" refers to the fact that these temples were carved out of a single piece of stone, depicting various forms of architecture and religious figures. Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram, is known for its UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Rathas. The Rathas are named after the Pandavas from the Hindu epic Mahabharata and showcase intricate carvings and detailed architectural features. They are an essential part of India`s rich cultural heritage and attract tourists from all over the world.
