    Question

    Which of the following rulers of the Chola dynasty assumed the title of ‘Shivapad Shekhar’?

    A.

    Rajaraja I


    B.

    Parantaka I

    C.

    Rajendra I

    D.

    Rajendra II

    Correct option is D

    Rajendra II, a prominent ruler of the Chola dynasty, took on the title of 'Shivapad Shekhar' during his reign. This title means "the crest jewel of Shiva's feet" and reflects his devotion to Lord Shiva. Rajendra II was known for his military conquests and contributions to Chola administration and culture​

    Rajaraja I and Rajendra I were equally illustrious kings, but the specific title 'Shivapad Shekhar' is attributed to Rajendra II.

    The Chola dynasty played a crucial role in South Indian history, expanding their empire through naval expeditions and developing rich cultural and architectural heritage.
