Mammallapuram Beaches
58 Kms from Chennai, Once a port and the second capital of the Pallava Dynasty,
Mamallapuram flourished during 7- 8th centuries. The monuments of Pallava, the
proto type of the Dravidian Temple Architecture, lure every visitor to this
town.
The monuments, scooped out of natural rocks are of monolithic type. Mamallapuram
has been declared by United Nations as one of the world Heritage centres. The
Dance Festival from December to February is highly acclaimed.
One of the monuments - Arjuna's penance - stands as a back drop for the stage.
For over 1500 years this small town has awakened to the tune of hardened steel
on stone as its craftsmen begin a new day. The pristine glory of the 8th century
temple adds splendour to the beach here.
