Mahabalipuram India

        The richness in mahabalipuram was not known to many, as these pallavas did not outlet and expose their quality and innovative creations to the outer world for obvious reasons. The aestheticism in mahabalipuram was hidden until the late 185h century. What is special about mahabalipuram? Of course every one can point out the rock - cut caves, temples made from a single rock, temples and strives of different structures, and bas-reliefs which are so artistic and sheer creativity. Mamallpuram is referred as an ‘open-air museum’. The great pallava kings Narasimha I and Rajasimha have well preserved these stylistic qualities that one enjoys in mahabalipuram even in the present day.

        The beauty of the place is not only due to these architecture but the vast casuarinas trees, the silvery sandy beach the classical hand male crafts around have made them all to form what is a collective splendor. Any visitor who visits mahabalipuram will remain startled and intoxicated with the grandeur. They feel hand hearted and more out from this historical and fascinating tourist spot.

Mahabalipuram Tamil Nadu

Mamallapuram is situated at a distance of about 58 South of Chennai,  it was an  ancient port of the Pallavas, who have created many marvellous monuments with sculptural panels, caves, monolithic rathas and temples.  The port was constructed by Emperor Mahendra Varman in the 7th century.  Its present name is derived from the title given to Narasimha Varman as Mahamalla meaning a great warrior.  The place is among the most outstanding examples of Dravidian art and architecture.

Once a thriving port trading with many distant nations, the sculptors have breathed life into stone at this place.  The Pallava art monumental splendour and man y beaches attract tourists from all over the world.

There is a huge rock tub said to be the bathing tub of Draupathi.  Above, on the rocky hill is a shrine of Vishnu without the deity. One can also see the old rock built lighthouse and the modern lighthouse side by side. Mahabalipuram is a real feast to the eyes that could read an epic in lively sculpture.

Places to visit in Mahabalipuram

Mahabalipuram Temple

Shore Temple Mahabalipuram

The stately shrine set elegantly on the edge of the sea is a long survivor among the seven magnificent temples built over here.  The construction originally started around the middle of the 7th century and was later rebuilt during the reign of Narsimha Varma II, also known as Rajasimha.  It is one of the oldest temples in South India and represents the first phase of structural temples constructed in Dravidian style.  This icon of the soaring aesthetic aspiration of the Pallavas has been listed among the World Heritage Sites of UNESCO and is one of the most visited monuments in Tamil Nadu. Originally, there were seven such temples called as pagodas and only one has been spared. It has a vimana towering over 60 feet built in basaltic rock. A prismatic lingam is on the sanctum facing the sea and Vishnu is seen reclining on the ground (Stala sayana) in his chamber in the rear. The Shore Temple is in fact complexes of three exquisitely carved shrines and are approached through a paved forecourt flanked by weathered perimeter walls supporting striking sculptures of numerous 'Nandi' bulls. A temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is flanked by two Shiva temples, one facing the east and the other facing the west.  Both the Shiva Temples are crowned by soaring spires, while the Vishnu Temple has none, as it may have crumbled with time.  The Vishnu temple was built by Narasimha Varma I or Mamalla, while the Shiva temples were later built by his son Narasimha Varman II.

Arjuna's Penance

Arjuna's Penance is the splendor of Mamallapuram. It is a huge rock in the canvas unfolding a scene of gods and demigods, birds, beasts and natural scenery.  Some are of the opinion that it is in fact Bagirath's  penace to bring the celestial Ganges to the earth. A natural cleft in rock has been cleverly carved into the turbulent river Ganges with serpent gods worshipping like devotees along the banks frozen in their prayer a superb poetry in sculpture which no visitor should miss.This a complicated magnificent piece of skilfully carved work, the largest bas-relief sculptures in the world.  Arjuna, the epic hero of Mahabharata, is depicted here as sage doing penance in order to obtain the divine weapons from Lord Shiva. All the carvings are made out of a huge boulder. There is a natural cleft in the centre of the huge rock which is conceived as the sacred river Ganga descending to earth.  Various divine figures have been carved on all the sides.  This piece of work is a masterpiece of c

PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping visit Mahabalipuram heritage marvels

Chinese President Xi Jinping was hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu state of South India in the course of second informal India - China summit.

In this video you can watch PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping visiting following places:

UNFINISHED ROCK-CUT CAVE TEMPLE NORTH OF KRISHNA MANDAPA

Beyond Krishna mandapa is a large cave-temple known as Panchapandava mandapa.This cave-temple would have been the largest of all cave-temples of the Pallavas. On stylistic grounds, it may be placed later among the Mamalla style cave-temples in the period of Paramesvaravarman I (672-700 CE). This cave-temple has six lion pillars and similar pilasters at either end are finished. The brackets above the capitals of these pillars are decorated with lions and griffins with human riders. Even in its unfinished stage, this cave temple is unique. Its sanctum was designed to have a passage all around the exterior, so that it would be possible for circumambulation of the sanctum.


ARJUNA’S PENANCE

This magnificent bas- relief popularly called as ‘Arjuna’spenance’ suggestively depicts the story of ‘Kiratarjuna’, of the great epic Mahabhartha. The panoramic view of the life in the forest is aptly sculptured here in the two large boulders. The cleft between these two boulders is brilliantly utilized to show the flow of the river Ganga which is evinced by the presence of Nagas and Naginis. The great event of obtaining the weapon pasupatha from Lord Siva by Arjuna, one of the heroes of Mahabharatha is portrayed. This event witnessed by the three worlds reveals an overall view to visitors. A man with emaciated body and long beard engaged in severe penance standing on his right leg is identified with Arjuna. While Lord Siva with trident standing majestically above his right side appeared in front of him to bless Arjuna with the weapon. All Semi Gods and Goddess are rushing towards the central point to witness the great event. Below this scene on the same side, a small temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is shown. In front of the temple, sages are engaged in Yoga and Tapas and Brahmins are doing mid day rituals known from their paryanka granthi and suryapasthana (Madhiyana sandhi) posture respectively. The depiction of forest life is interestingly portrayed here. Some scholars identified this panel with the story of Bhagiratha bringing the Ganges to the earth ( Descents of Ganges). According to them, the representation here is that of Bhagiratha’s penance and Siva granting him the desired boon by agreeing to release Ganga from his locks, the scene representing the descent of the river from the jungle covered hills in the joyful presence of the gods.

MONKEY-GROUP

This is a tiny but realistic carving of a group of monkeys a family consisting of a father, mother and child. One of the parents is removing lice from the head of the other, while the little one is resting on the lap. An excellent example of mastery of Pallava sculptors over depicting animals.

GANESHA RATHA

This monolithic temple, dedicated to Siva, is known as “Atyantakama Pallavesvaram” from the inscription of this temple. The title “Atyantakama”is to be identified with Paramesvaravarman-I (672-700 CE) and some scholars believe that this ratha belongs to the period of Narasimhavaraman-I (630-668 CE) on stylistic basis. The former identification is more convincing as Paramesvaravarman-I continued the tradition of carving of monolithic temple initiated by Narasimhavarman-I at Mamallapuram. This monolithic temple isrectangular on plan and has a dvitala salavimana. The adhisthana is not defined. The walls are punctuated by plain Visnukanta pilasters. The gable- ends of the sikhara have miniature models of vimana as in the case of Bhima Ratha.The narrow mukhamandapahas two lion-pillars in the centre and two lion-pilasters and is flanked by two dvarapalas at either end.Since there is a Ganesha image inside the shrine, this monolithic templeis called asGanesha Ratha.

KRISHNA’S BUTTERBALL

More than an archaeological, Krishna’s butter ball is a natural monument. It is a gigantic granite boulder delicately balanced by nature on the slope of the hillock. The boulder is approximately 6 meters high and 5 meters wide and weighs around 250 tons.

PM Narendra Modi was dressed in South Indian traditional dress. PM Modi guided Chinese President through the walk covering the places listed above. Both leaders then visited Panch Rath and shore temple sites in Mahabalupuram.

This group of Monuments at Mamallapuram was declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in the year 1984, in recognition of its outstanding universal value, contribution to humanity in the field of art and architecture.

Name Mahabalipuram derived from Mamallapuram, “the city of Mamalla”, a title of Narashimavarman I (630 to 670 CE), the great Pallava ruler of the seventh century, who was responsible for most of the rock-cut temples and carvings at this place.

Mahabalipuram beach shored by the Bay of Bengal, Tamil Nadu

The Mahabalipuram beach is shored by the Bay of Bengal along with the dreamy rock cut sculptures staggering to the eyes. People bathe in the water of Bay of Bengal. One can see the waves reach to the beach. A woman enters into the water and stands against waves.

Mahabalipuram beach is located on the east coast of India. Turned up at the distance of 58 km from Chennai, the golden sandy beach is a charming place encircled by the rolling hills and glittering sea. The beach is recognized as the pristine beaches of Tamil Nadu, which attracts thousands of tourists every year. It's an idyllic place for lazing around the vicinity and sunbathing.

Modi - Xi Jinping visit Shore Temple in Mahabalipuram

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinoing today evening visited Shore Temples in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.

SHORE TEMPLE

The Shore temple, an earliest representation of structural temple at Mamallapuram, belongs to the period of Narasimhavarman II alias Rajasimha Pallava (700-728 CE). As this temple stands on the bedrock near the sea it is globally called as sea shore temple. There are two shrines in this complex; one faces east and other faces west named as Kshatriyasimesvaram and Rajasimhesvaram respectively. Both the shrines, similar on plan, consist of a garbhagriha (sanctum) and an ardhamandapa (porch) andare installed with fluted Sivalinga. Behind the Sivalinga is Somaskanda (depiction of Siva and Parvati with infant Skanda) panel which also repeated on the either side walls of the porch. The superstructure of the Kstraiyashimesvaram is larger than that of Rajashimesvaram. It has an additional prakara of low height with small gopura-dvara at the east. In between these two temples, there is a small shrine provided with a cell and small porch and is without superstructure. It enshrines a figure of reclining Vishnu (Narapatima Pallavagriham). The courtyard of the temple complex is partly surrounded by an unfinished enclosure, along which are arranged rows of Nandis.


EXCAVATED REMAINS AT SHORE TEMPLE:

Sustained removal of the sand in the last few decades, brought to light several buried structures around the shore temple. Unique among them is the early Pallava period bathing-ghat like stepped structure, approximately 200m long. The steps are built of interlocking granite slabs over a laterite core. The intelligent interlocking method used here prevented the slabs form collapsing. This structure is running north to south parallel to the sea. In 1990, the excavation exposed a Bhuvaraha image, a miniature shrine and a well enclosed by an elliptical enclosure. These remains are carved on the bedrock. The miniature shrine, dedicated to Siva, has its sixteen-sided base carved out of the bedrock while the circular wall and superstructure are structural. The Bhuvaraha is shown retrieving the Earth symbolically from the deep ocean.
