Who built the Gangaikondacholapuram temple?
Rajendra Chola
The correct answer is Rajendra Chola.
The name literally means "the city of the Chola who conquered the Ganga" (referring to his military campaign to the north). The Gangaikondacholapuram temple is slightly smaller than the Thanjavur temple but is known for its exquisite sculptures and slightly more curvilinear vimana (temple tower), showcasing a development in Chola architecture. Along with the temples at Thanjavur and Darasuram, the Gangaikondacholapuram temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Great Living Chola Temples".
