The correct answer is option 3: Kanchipuram. The Pallavas were a South Indian dynasty that existed from the 3rd century to the 9th century. Kanchipuram, also known as Kancheepuram, served as their capital city. Kanchipuram is located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is renowned for its ancient temples and is considered one of the seven sacred cities in Hinduism. The Pallavas were known for their patronage of art, architecture, and literature. They were responsible for the creation of several magnificent architectural wonders in Kanchipuram, including the Kailasanatha Temple and the Varadharaja Perumal Temple. These temples are still standing today and attract numerous visitors.
