Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
Monolithic architecture refers to structures carved, cast, or excavated from a single material, historically stone. The most basic form of monolithic architecture is a stone-cut construction, such as the monolithic Ethiopian churches built by the Zagwe dynasty or the Pancha Rathas of India. Mahabalipuram, a sleepy town in Tamil Nadu, is historically significant. The mighty Pallavas ruled here once and built magnificent monuments. Pancha Rathas are one of the forty legacies of Mahabalipuram. The Pancha Rathas of Mahabalipuram are five different monolithic temples. These rathas are a group of five monolithic temples constructed of solid granite and rock dioxide. There is no tradition of naming the five temples after the Pandavas and Draupadi.
