Detailed explanation-1: -Kailasa temple lacks a dedicatory inscription, but there is no doubt that it was commissioned by a Rashtrakuta ruler. Its construction is generally attributed to the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. 756-773 CE), based on two epigraphs that link the temple to “Krishnaraja” (IAST Kṛṣṇarāja):
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Kailasha. This is a part of the Ellora Caves in Maharastra, India dedicated to Lord Shiva. This temple is 84.1m in length and 29.3m in height.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Kailash temple at Ellora was made by the Rashtrakuta dynasty as a temple for Lord Shiva. Perhaps, it was meant to be a lookalike of Mount Kailash, the mystical abode of Shiva. The Kailash Temple is a standalone, multi-storeyed temple complex, made to look like Mount Kailash-the puranic home of Lord Shiva.
