the temples of mahabalipuram
Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram)
Location :
58-Km From Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Also Called:
Mamallapuram, The City Of Bali
Famous:
Centre For Pallava Culture And Arts
Important Festivals Celebrated:
Dance Festival In The Month Of December
Globally renown for its shore temples, Mahabalipuram was the second capital of the Pallava kings of Kanchipuram. 58 kilometres from Madras on the Bay of Bengal, this tiny sea - side village of Mahabalipuram, is set in a boulder - strewn landscape. Tourists are drawn to this place by its miles of unspoiled beach and rock-cut art. The sculpture, here, is particularly interesting because it shows scenes of day-to- day life, in contrast with the rest of the state of Tamil Nadu, where the carvings generally depict gods and goddesses.
