Neither the Pallava nor the Pandya dynasty was primarily responsible for the architectural development of:

1. Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram
2. Rock-cut Kailashnath Temple at Ellora
3. Five Rathas of Mamallapuram
4. Meenakshi Amman Temple complex foundations

Correct answer: Rock-cut Kailashnath Temple at Ellora

Solution

The Shore Temple, Five Rathas, and early foundations at Mamallapuram are associated with the Pallavas, while the Meenakshi temple complex has Pandya connections. The Kailashnath Temple at Ellora was primarily built under the Rashtrakutas, so it was not the work of either the Pallavas or the Pandyas.
