Mahabalipuram Beach|Monuments At Mahabalipuram Tamil Nadu in India |Vlog
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

Mahabalipuram - Shore Temple - Mamallapuram - Temples of Tamilnadu - Living Wonders
The Shore Temple (built in 700–728 AD) is so named because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD. It was built on a promontory sticking out into the Bay of Bengal at Mahabalipuram, a village south of Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. At the time of its creation, the village was a busy port during the reign of Narasimhavarman II of the Pallava dynasty. As one of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It is one of the oldest structural (versus rock-cut) stone temples of South India.
Shore temple is a complex of three temples, one large and two small, located right on the shores of the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in Mahabalipuram, which was earlier known as Mamallapuram. During the Pallava Dynasty reign this was a port city of their kingdom which they ruled from Kanchipuram. It was built by the Pallava Dynasty when it was the trading port of the dynasty.

UNDERWATER Temples Found in Mahabalipuram?? The Seven pagodas of India
Instagram................

Facebook..............
Website....................
Hey guys, today I am at the sea shore of an ancient site called Mahabalipuram in India . I have posted several videos about this place, but today I am going to show you some solid evidence of underwater temples, submerged in the sea. On the shore, you see a majestic temple known as Jalashayana temple. I bet you have never heard of this name, today people just know of it as the Shore temple, but an inscription inside the temple reveals that its original name was Jalashayana. What does it mean? It means Resting in Water. Very appropriate for a temple situated touching the sea. This temple was built at least 1300 years ago.
But my focus today is on the temples which are submerged in the sea. Are there really structures underwater in this ocean? Just outside the shore temple, there is a rock standing in water. Today, The shore temple is fenced , so I cannot walk to this place from the temple, but this was part of another temple structure. If you take a good look at this, you begin to see chisel marks, but if you go into the water, and then look at the other side, this is what you will see. Clearly, there is a small rectangular chamber carved and several deities are carved in this rock. All this was done at least 1300 years ago, and look, there is another rock peeping out in the middle of the water. That is also another ancient monument lying completely under water. This proves that there are ancient temples submerged in this ocean, waiting to be discovered.
But the most important evidence of these submerged temples is from the Archeology Department itself. Government Archeologists have explored underwater in 2002 and have confirmed that yes, there are quite a few broken pillars, damaged walls and other structures inside the water, belonging to ancient times. So, it is a fact that there are submerged temples in Mahabalipuram.
So, how many temples are there underwater? The answer was given by Marco Polo, a venetian traveler who traveled by sea, about 700 years ago. Marco Polo says there were 7 very large temples in the shore, and calls them 'The 7 Pagodas' . The temples must have been so large that they were visible from a long distance. In the last 700 years, this coastline has seen many tsunamis and the water level has consistently risen, leaving only the last of the 7 pagodas to be seen today.
This is why this temple is sometimes known as the Last Pagoda. Even this temple was consistently harassed by the sea water. Water used to frequently come into the temple, which is why the archeology department has placed a massive number of rocks as barriers to prevent this from happening.
I will explain this temple in a different video, but there is a strange little tank inside the complex. It is roughly a rectangular structure and today you can see there is a little bit of water, but I have visited this site many times. During dry seasons, you can see a key hole shaped hole in the center. This hole goes deep inside and is connected to the ground water level. Water comes out of this hole. And nearby there is a small cylindrical structure with various levels marked on it. Locals claim that this is an ancient flood indicator, and it can even foretell Tsunamis. See there is a deity carved inside the cylinder, locals say that if the water rises up to the neck of the deity, then the priest would make an announcement that everybody should evacuate the area, because there would be a flood in the next 48 hours. So, this was like a weather forecast device that could warn about the rising water level.
So, it is a fact there are 7 Pagodas in Mahabalipuram, but 6 of them are under the sea. I hope some day, I can lay eyes on them and reveal them to you. I am Praveen Mohan, thanks a lot for watching, don't forget to subscribe and also click on the bell button to get all the updates. Please give this video a thumbs up and do share it with your friends and I will talk to you soon. Bye!

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 Mamallapuram Beach Resort - MAHABALIPURAM BEACH travel
Road trip from Chennai to Mamallapuram Beach Resort | Tamil Nadu | Incredible India:
As a couple You Tuber and travel Vlogger, we went to Mamallapuram towards the end of September. We stayed at the beautiful Chariot Beach Resorts. We flew out from Kolkata in a morning flight and landed comfortably at Chennai after 2.5 hours. The moment we landed at the airport, the Resort welcomed us there with some cold drinks and juices. An incredible gesture!
Mamallapuram is located about 55 kms from Chennai that makes it an easy weekend destination for Chennaites and even for people near Chennai such as Bangalore. No hang on! You can in fact land at Chennai and book your self driven car and hit the road straight to Mahabalipuram. Our journey from Chennai airport was epic. We surpassed the chaotic, crowded streets of Chennai and the moment we took off to the NH 32 Road, it was spectacular. The entire stretch was stunning and we didn’t have to stop anywhere in between. We drove past the beautiful coastline soaking in its earthy smell and local sights.
