Explanation

Rock-cut. Draupadi Ratha is a monolithic structure built by the Pallava dynasty (7th-8th century) in Mahabalipuram. While Nagara style characterizes North Indian temples and Vesara style (e.g., Chalukyas) blends both Northern and Southern forms, this Rath belongs to the Pancha Rathas complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984.
