Mamallapuram (also called Mahaballipuram) is about an hour's drive from Chennai on the East Coast Road. It was the second capital and seaport of the Pallava Kings who ruled in the 5th century. Local legend has it that there was once a beautiful city here with seven temples, which the Gods submerged under the sea in anger.until in 2002, an Indo-British team of divers discovered a series of man-made structures under water, covering an area of several square miles.Today at Mamallapuram, you can see the famous Shore Temple, the only surviving temple out of the original seven (the rest have sunk under the sea). The Shore Temple is among the oldest temples of South India and represents the final flowering of Pallava art. Arjuna's Penance, one of the world's biggest bas-reliefs depicts the story of the descent of the River Ganges from Heaven to Earth. Cave temples and massive monolithic sculptures (carved from a single large block of granite) make Mamallapuram a place to remember.

Marco Polo sailed past this coast in the 13th century and recorded a city of seven pagodas rising above the sea. Only one still stands; the rest lie submerged offshore. The Pallava kings carved an entire world from these boulders: five chariots each cut from a single rock, a colossal bas relief where a sly cat poses as a holy man before gathering mice, a giant boulder balanced on a slope for thirteen centuries that a British governor failed to move with elephants, and the Shore Temple facing the Bay of Bengal.
