MAHABALIPURAM

The entire history of this place lies shrouded in mystery and it is not possible to explain satisfactorily why all the monuments cut in the rocks remained unfinished and who were the kings responsible for the evolution of such wonderful sculpture and architecture
for which this place is famous and attracts thousands of visitors even from abroad.

There is an ancient Siva temple on the
seashore, but the peculiar thing about this is that this place was not visited by any of the Saiva saints. It is noteworthy that minor
deities, who are popular in the South and found invariably in aft other temples, are absent here.
