The Rathas of Mahabalipuram is a group of rock-cut temples located in Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tamil Nadu, India. These temples were built during the reign of the Pallava dynasty, which ruled the region from the 3rd to the 9th century AD.

The Pallavas were known for their architectural brilliance, and the Rathas showcase their expertise in stone carving. Each Ratha is dedicated to a specific deity and is carved out of a single block of stone, resembling miniature temple chariots. The intricate carvings and sculptures on these Rathas depict various Hindu gods and goddesses.

Options 1, 2, and 3 (Palas, Cholas, and Rashtrakutas) were prominent dynasties in different regions of India, but they were not responsible for the construction of the Rathas of Mahabalipuram.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Pallavas.
