One Day Mahabalipuram Tour Package
1 DAY MAMALLAPURAM TOUR
Mahabalipuram is an ancient seaport, on the shores of Bay of Bengal , built by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, in the 7th century AD, Maamallapuram is a treasure trove of South Indian sculptural and architectural heritage.
The temple town of Mahabalipuram is famous for its various temples and other attractive features. This 7th century city of the Pallavas is considered pioneer in the Dravidian architectural style. The city was earlier called Mallapuram and was a famous trading port of Pallavas . During your Mahabalipuram tour, you will come across many interesting tourism spots. Some of the best ones are as follows: -
Arjuna's Penance
Arjuna's Penance is the pride of not only Mahabalipuram and Tamilnadu but also of India . Arjuna's Penance is the world's largest bas-relief that measures 27 meters and 9 meters along its length and breadth respectively. This huge whaleback shaped rock contains figures of Gods, Demigods, Men, Beasts and Birds. The whole structure looks like the penance of Arjuna, the Pandava prince and one of the protagonists of Indian epic Mahabharata; hence the name.
Five Rathas
Five Rathas are the one of the most magnificent tourist attractions at Mahabalipuram Beaches. Five Rathas are actually five monolithic temples, each created in a different style. They are modeled around chariots that are called 'Rathas' in Hindi. They are also known as the 'Pancha Pandava Rathas', which means that each one of them represent 5 Pandavas, the protagonists of Indian epic Mahabharata. The most mesmerizing aspect of this monument is the fact that the four of the Rathas are supposed to have scooped out of a single rock formation.
