Mahabalipuram

Beautiful coast city full of beach resorts and 7th century temples, carvings, boulders and caves near the sea.

We went to see first a boulder, raw material of several carvings in the city, and then the end result: 5 temples, an elephant and a lion.

Then we went to see one of the most tourist temples in India, the Shore Temple. Build between the 7th and 8th centuries, is world heritage from UNESCO not only for its carvings, but for the beauty in the proximity of the sea.

In the afternoon we drove by car 200kg to Tanjore, stopping to see some small temples on the way.
