At which one of the following places was a Shiva temple not constructed under the patronage of the Chola rulers?

The Chola rulers were prolific builders of Shiva temples across South India. Magnificent structures were constructed under their patronage at Thanjavur, Gangaikonda Cholapuram, and Chidambaram [2]. Rajaraja I built the Brihadishvarar Temple at Thanjavur, while his son Rajendra I constructed the temple at Gangaikonda Cholapuram to commemorate his northern military victories [1]. The Nataraja Temple at Chidambaram also received significant patronage and embellishment from the Chola dynasty, particularly during the 10th to 13th centuries [3]. In contrast, Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, famous for its rock-cut caves and inscriptions belonging to the Satavahana dynasty, not the Cholas. The Chola empire's architectural influence was primarily concentrated in the Tamil region and parts of South India, making Naneghat the location where a Chola Shiva temple was not constructed.
