The Kailasa Temple built in the 8th century is in which of the following state?
Maharashtra
The question asks in which state the 8th-century Kailasa Temple is located.
The correct answer is Maharashtra. The Kailasa (Kailasanatha) Temple is Cave 16 of the Ellora Caves near Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) in Maharashtra.
It was carved in the 8th century CE under the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I and is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The temple is a marvel of rock-cut architecture, carved top-down from a single monolithic basalt rock, making it one of the largest monolithic structures in the world.
The Ellora Caves, including this temple, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat have their own famous temples and forts, but the Kailasa Temple at Ellora is not in any of them.
Hence, the 8th-century Kailasa Temple is in Maharashtra.
