The Temple by the Sea — Pallava Granite at the Edge of the Bay
Mahabalipuram · Chengalpattu · Tamil Nadu
The Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram is a 7th-century Pallava monument perched on the Bay of Bengal — one of the earliest stone temples in South India and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its twin vimanas face east and west, and its location at the water's edge has made it a landmark for 1,400 years.

A moment of pilgrimage
Even from afar, turn the mind toward Shore Temple — Mamallapuram. If you have visited — or hope to — let one detail of the place (a gopuram, a river, a courtyard) become today's anchor.
