| Attractions and things to do - Historical Tour to Mahabalipuram - Cave Temples | |
|
Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its brilliant rock-cut temples. Built by the Pallava rulers in the 7th century, the complex comprises of cave-temples and monolithic rathas (chariots). The primary attraction in the temple complex is the Shore Temple described by Percy Brown as “'a landmark by day and a beacon by night”. Designed to catch the first rays of the rising sun and to illuminate the waters after dark, the temple ended up with an unusual lay-out. As the main shrine faces the sea on the east, the gateway, the fore court and the assembly hall of the Shore Temple all lie behind the sanctum. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these cave-temples which are outstanding examples of Dravidian art and architecture.
