The correct answer is option 4, Naneghat. The Chola rulers were known for their patronage of art and architecture, particularly the construction of Shiva temples. Chidambaram, Thanjavur, and Gangaikonda Cholapuram are all places where Shiva temples were constructed under the patronage of the Chola rulers.

Chidambaram is home to the famous Thillai Nataraja Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is known for its intricate architecture and is one of the most prominent Shiva temples in the region.

Thanjavur is famous for the Brihadeeswarar Temple, also known as the Big Temple. It was built by the Chola emperor Raja Raja Chola I in the 11th century and is an example of the architectural brilliance of the Chola dynasty.

Gangaikonda Cholapuram is another significant place where a Shiva temple was constructed under the patronage of the Chola rulers. The Brihadishvara Temple in Gangaikonda Cholapuram was built by the Chola king Rajendra Chola I and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
