Which of the following Chola ruler built a temple for goddess Nishumbhasudini?

Vijayalaya

The correct answer is Option (3) - Vijayalaya

Vijayalaya was the one who built a temple for goddess Nishumbhasudini.

• Vijayalaya is considered the founder of the Chola dynasty.
• He is credited with establishing their capital in Thanjavur (also known as Tanjore) and constructing a temple dedicated to Nishumbhasudini, an aspect of the goddess Durga.
• His successors, like Rajaraja I and Rajendra I, further expanded the Chola empire and built other famous temples, but the construction of the Nishumbhasudini temple is specifically attributed to Vijayalaya.
