Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
El magnífico templo domina la Bahía de Bengala y fue un centro importante durante el reinado de los Pallavas cuando Mahabalipuram era el principal puerto de su Reino. Construido por el rey Raja Simha a principios del siglo VIII, el Templo Shore es un hito en el paisaje arquitectónico de la India.
Esta cueva tiene 2 imponentes bajorrelieves en las paredes. El primero es el Señor Vishnu durmiendo encima de los anillos de una serpiente. El otro es con la Diosa Durga peleando con el demonio Mahishasura sobre un león.
Construido en el año 640, es el faro más antiguo de la India y uno de los más antiguos del mundo. Mahabalipuram fue un puerto muy activo desde el siglo VII y, por lo tanto, este faro desempeñó un papel importante en la seguridad de los marineros.
Este es un carro imponente tallado en una sola piedra. Originalmente dedicado a Lord Shiva, ahora tiene la deidad de su hijo Lord Ganesh. Fue construido en el siglo VII por el rey Mahendravarman I. El otro punto destacado de este templo son las 18 inscripciones en las antiguas escrituras grantha y nagari del sánscrito.
Esta cueva es un buen ejemplo del espectacular estilo arquitectónico de los Pallavas. El templo excavado en la roca está dedicado a la santísima trinidad de los dioses hindúes: Brahma, Vishnu y Shiva. También hay finas tallas de elefantes.
La siguiente parada es Krishna's Butterball, una roca de granito que se encuentra en una pendiente pedregosa. Esta curiosa roca parece desafiar las leyes de la gravedad de Newton y no se ha movido ni un centímetro a pesar de estar en esta precaria posición en la ladera durante más de mil años.
A continuación, visitamos la pena de Arjuna, un monumento en bajorrelieve que se considera una de las piezas de arte antiguo más magníficas de la India y que representa escenas vívidas del Mahabharata. ¡El relieve mide 100 pies de largo y 45 pies de alto! La historia principal que se cuenta es cómo Arjuna, uno de los hermanos Pandava, realizó severas austeridades para obtener el arma del Señor Shiva.
Panch Rathas, o los 5 carros, es nuestro primer destino. Estas son estructuras monolíticas excavadas en la roca, donde algunos de los carros están dedicados al elenco de plomo de la epopeya del Mahabharata: Draupadi, Arjuna, Nakul-Sahadeva, Bhima y Yudhister. También hay una escultura de un elefante junto al ratha de Nakul-Sahadeva.
Por último, tenemos el almuerzo del sur de la India en el Hotel Mamalla Bhavan.

It's not really a day trip, more like a half day trip. It's an hours drive there from Chennai, you then get a two hour tour which is good apart from the awkward visit to a stone carving shop at the end where you are expected to buy over priced pieces. Then an hour back. We were offered a lunch which I guess could have been stretched out to an hour at a push. But really it's a two hour trip plus two hour tour. It seemed very over priced claiming to be 6 hours+. My advise would be to get your own transport there and a guide when you are there and it will probably work our a lot cheaper. We have done lots of tours all over the world including India this was definitely over sold and over priced.
