Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Bagh, Ajanta, and Ellora are famous sites containing complexes of rock-cut caves, predominantly Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain structures. Konark is the location of the famous Sun Temple , which is a magnificent example of Kalinga style temple architecture built from stone, but it is a structural temple , not an excavated rock-cut cave. Therefore, Konark is the exception.
