The great Chola ruler Rajaraja Chola I is associated with which temple?

Correct answer: Brihadeeswarar Temple

Rajaraja Chola I was one of the most important rulers of the Chola dynasty, which grew powerful in southern India. He is strongly associated with the Brihadeeswarar Temple at Thanjavur, also called the Rajarajeswaram Temple. Built during his reign, this large temple demonstrates the Cholas’ achievements in stone construction, sculpture, inscriptions, religious patronage, and organized administration. It is also recognized as a major landmark of Indian temple architecture.

Option A follows because the temple was commissioned by Rajaraja Chola I and stands at Thanjavur, an important Chola centre. Sanchi Stupa belongs to an earlier Buddhist tradition, while Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb belong to later periods and different ruling traditions in North India. Thus, the supplied answer correctly connects the ruler with the Brihadeeswarar Temple.
