The magnificent Kailasa temple at Ellora was built during the reign of which Rashtrakuta king?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Kailasa temple (Kailasanatha) at Ellora is a famous monolithic rock-cut temple carved in the 8th century CE.

2. Historical records and inscriptions attribute its construction to the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I, who ruled in the mid–late 8th century and under whose patronage the monumental excavation was undertaken.

3. The other listed rulers (Indra III, Govinda III, Amoghavarsha) ruled later and are not credited with commissioning the Kailasa temple; thus they can be eliminated.

Therefore the correct answer is Krishna I.
