This bas-relief with life-size images from a mythical story adorns a huge rock.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
A must visit - it is a huge rock face (96 feet long and 43 ft high);covered with hundreds of carves statues and on the right a family of elephants! It really an eyeful and is the second longest carver mural in the world ( so we were told). It tells a tale of Arjuna but there is some dispute about this too! Still whatever- it is a must see!

Considered one of the Pancha Bhuta Sthalam this Shiva temple will definitely boost your sense of spirituality and bliss. From the stunning architecture, to the sound of nadeswaram in the inner sanctum, to the centuries old mango tree where the union of Shiva and Parvati took place there is so much to see and take in. I even found space to meditate in peace for a while here and eat prasadam after, without being rushed out.

Mammalapuram,(Mahabalipuram) has a lot to offer, which would pave way to the history/civilisation and a lot more to think. When you are here you forget your time and go on to memories. Great place to see all the Sculptures and do visit the temple inside the mandapam

A beautiful piece of art carved on a monolithic rock. It is built on the same rock as Arjuna's penance and has a mythological and historical significance to it. The descent of the Ganges is depicted in the form of Cobras and it is an exceptional sculpture built during the Pallava rule.

Powerful and blissful temple. Ample parking space. Pooja shops are available. You can take a route from Kanchipuram to Sriperumputhur route or if you are travelling from Chennai, you can take Tambaram - Vandalur route and go from Oragadam road. From Kanchipuram or Vellore, you can go by bus, bike or car and take NH4 route to reach Sriperumputhur. This temple is 8 to 9 kms from Sriperumputhur. It is crowded during festival time and have to wait in a long queue to get darshan.
