Detailed Solution

The temples at Mahabalipuram were known as Monolithic temples. Since each of these was built in Tamil Nadu from a single enormous block of stone, they are always referred to as monolithic temples. The Monolithic temples at Mahabalipuram were the finest examples of stone temples built in towns by the Kings themselves. Mahabalipuram temples were built during the Pallava period and are known for the starting stage of the Dravidian style of temple architecture. These Monolithic temples consisted of rathas, which were dedicated to Pandavas and the Dharmaraju ratha is the biggest of all. The construction period of the South Indian temples went parallel to the construction of North Indian temples in places like Uttar Pradesh.
