SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Rajendra Chola I

Rajendra Chola I (r. 1014–1044 CE) built the grand Brihadeeswara temple at Gangaikonda Cholapuram, the city he founded to commemorate his victorious northern campaign to the Ganges. The city's name itself means 'the city of the Chola who conquered the Ganga'.

Rajaraja Chola I built the Brihadeeswara temple at Thanjavur, not Gangaikonda Cholapuram. Hence Rajendra Chola I is correct.
