Solution
- The Kailas Temple: The Kailas temple at Ellora in Maharashtra was carved out during the reign of Krishna Raja I. This temple is the largest rock-cut monolithic ancient Hindu temple. This temple gets its name Kailas as it symbolizes Mount Kailas, the home of Lord Shiva.
- A Satavahana coin: Indian trade was at its zenith during the Satavahana period. Indian goods were exported to western countries and even as far as Rome. Trade took place by sea and this fact is known through coins that have the image of a ship carved on them.
- The Ratha or chariot temples: The rathas or shrines shaped as temple chariots are hewn from the granite rock. They are a perfect example of the monolithic rock-cut architecture of the Pallava dynasty. These group monuments at Mahabalipuram have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
