Monuments at Mahabalipuram

Many interesting rock-cut temples and giant open-air reliefs from the 7th and 8th centuries.

Reviewed By 369gillianj - Clitheroe, United Kingdom

Beautiful beach side setting, lovely village with good shops and restaurants, and so many amazing things to see - ancient rock carvings, cave-like temples hewn from granite, beautiful shore temple, lovely old working lighthouse and gravity-defying Krishna's Butterball Boulder! All within easy walking distance - a real treasure trove.

Krishna Mandapam

Reviewed By Trvelly

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

Tiger Cave

Reviewed By Vineethkcm - Chennai (Madras), India

Tiger cave is a wonderful rock-cut cave where the carved shapes of horses, tigers, and elephants amaze us. A must watch place in the evenings. A beautiful beach is near by.
