I recently went to Mamallapuram to see around and shot few photos around using my mobile phone.
Mamallapuram is located near Chennai, Tamilnadu. This historical place has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Here is the few....
Mahabalipuram was a 7th century port city of the South Indian dynasty of the Pallavas around 60 km south from the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The name Mamallapuram is believed to have been given after the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, who took on the epithet Maha-malla (great wrestler), as the favourite sport of the Pallavas was wrestling. It has various historic monuments built largely between the 7th and the 9th centuries, and has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
