Itinerário
O magnífico templo tem vista para a Baía de Bengala e foi um importante centro durante o reinado dos Pallavas, quando Mahabalipuram era o principal porto de seu reino. Construído pelo rei Raja Simha durante o início do século VIII, o Templo Shore é um marco na paisagem arquitetônica da Índia.
Esta gruta tem 2 imponentes baixos-relevos nas paredes. O primeiro é o Senhor Vishnu dormindo em cima das espirais de uma serpente. A outra é com a Deusa Durga lutando com o demônio Mahishasura em um leão.
Construído no ano 640, é o farol mais antigo da Índia e um dos mais antigos do mundo. Mahabalipuram era um porto muito movimentado desde o século VII e, portanto, este farol desempenhou um papel significativo na segurança dos marinheiros.
Esta é uma carruagem imponente esculpida em uma única pedra. Originalmente dedicado ao Senhor Shiva, agora tem a divindade de seu filho Lord Ganesh. Foi construído no século 7 pelo rei Mahendravarman I. O outro destaque deste templo são as 18 inscrições em antigos scripts grantha e nagari de sânscrito.
Esta caverna é um belo exemplo do estilo de arquitetura espetacular dos Pallavas. O templo escavado na rocha é dedicado à santíssima trindade dos deuses hindus - Brahma, Vishnu e Shiva. Há belas esculturas de elefantes também.
A próxima parada é a Butterball de Krishna, uma pedra de granito que fica em uma encosta pedregosa. Esta pedra curiosa parece desafiar as leis da gravidade de Newton e não se moveu um centímetro apesar de estar nesta posição precária na encosta por mais de mil anos.
Em seguida, visitamos a Penace de Arjuna, um monumento em baixo-relevo que é considerado uma das mais magníficas peças de arte antiga da Índia, retratando cenas vívidas do Mahabharata. O relevo tem 100 pés de comprimento e 45 pés de altura! A história principal que está sendo contada é como Arjuna, um dos irmãos Pandava, realizou severas austeridades para obter a arma do Senhor Shiva.
Panch Rathas, ou as 5 carruagens é o nosso primeiro destino. Estas são estruturas monolíticas cortadas na rocha, onde as carruagens são dedicadas ao elenco principal do épico Mahabharata - Draupadi, Arjuna, Nakul-Sahadeva, Bhima e Yudhister. Há também uma escultura de um elefante ao lado do ratha de Nakul-Sahadeva.
Por último, temos o almoço no sul da Índia no 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.
