Chola

Pallava

Pandya

Chalukya

Correct Answer:

Chola

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Chola

Rajaraja I and Rajendra I belonged to the Chola dynasty.

The Chola dynasty was one of the three major dynasties of southern India, along with the Chera and Pandya dynasties. The Cholas ruled over a vast territory at the height of their power, including most of present-day south India and Sri Lanka.

Rajaraja I and Rajendra I were two of the most powerful Chola rulers. Rajaraja I expanded the Chola empire significantly, and he is also known for his patronage of art and architecture. Rajendra I continued his father's legacy of expansion, and he also launched successful naval campaigns against Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia.

The Chola dynasty is considered to be one of the most glorious periods in Indian history. The Cholas made significant contributions to art, architecture, literature, and trade. They also played a major role in the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
