The ratha temples of the Pallavas show which architectural technique?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rock-cut and monolithic form
The rathas at Mamallapuram were carved from large blocks of rock and are commonly described as monolithic, meaning each structure was cut from a single mass of stone. They imitate or experiment with temple forms in a rock-cut medium. A paper structure, brick drain or pottery vessel is not the architectural technique represented. Hence, option A is correct.
