Pallava Temple Style Matching Solution

This question requires matching the distinct architectural styles of the Pallava period (List - I) with their representative temples (List - II).

Matching Analysis:

  • A. Mahendra Style is correctly matched with II. Panchapandava mandapa of Pallavaram. This style is characterized by early rock-cut excavations.
  • B. Mammala Style is correctly matched with I. Ratha Temple of Mahabalipuram. This iconic style, associated with Narasimhavarman I, features monolithic structures.
  • C. Rajasimha Style is correctly matched with IV. Baikuntha Perumala Temple of Kanchi. This period saw the development of structural temples, with Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II) being a key patron.
  • D. Nandivarmana Style is correctly matched with III. Matangeshwara Temple of Kanchi. Temples from the Nandivarman period, like Matangeshwara, represent the continuation and evolution of Pallava temple architecture.

Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
