Mamallapuram - Divine Architecture
Happened to visit the age old Pallava city , Mamallapuram recently. What a beautiful place it would have been during those days. Now it is all littered around by the local folks and the visitors[:( ] A real plight to look at our heritage being spoilt by our own fellow mates. The "Sthala Sayana Perumal" temple , one of the 108 "Divya Desams" stood evident for the magnificient Pallava architecture. The temple was built around 1600 A.D. The environment around the temple is just a complement to what is inside the temple. Belive me, it is full of waste and trash all around the place. In addtion to this, are also a number a mindblowing master pieces by our ancient sculptors that are worth a visit. It is worth watching the place once if u are the kind of person, who would love sculptures.
