Rathas |
A huge rock sloping from south to north was utilized judiciously to cut out different forms of the temple. Besides few animal sculptures. The group of five rathas was executed as models of South Indian temples and were not consecrated as their stupis are still attached to the bedrock. Many beautiful sculptures can be seen in the areas of Mamallapuram and the fine art of stone sculpture can be seen in Mamallapuram. It was a nice trip on the ECR road. It means east coast road. If you have a chance to visit Chennai, which is the state capital of Tamil Nadu in India, go and visit this wonderful place. Be in touch and I will see you in another post.
