Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram, was an ancient port city on the Coromandel coast built by the Pallava Dynasty in the 7th
century. It was named after the cruel demon king Mahabali, who was
slayed by Goddess Durga, and is an important World Heritage Site today.
It is 60kms from Chennai, and can be reached by the scenic East Coast Road.
Mahabalipuram is known
for the beautiful historical monuments that were built mostly during
the Pallava Dynasty in the form of rock cut caves and temples. Its
beautiful and unspoilt beaches stretching for miles, and lined by
groves of casuarinas is another great attraction.
