Mamallapuram or Mahabalipuram is located at a distance of about 58 Southland of Chennai, it was an obsolescent port of the Pallavas, who have built many marvelous masterpieces with sculptural panels, caves, monolithic Rathas, and temples. The port was constructed by Emperor Mahendra Varman in the 7th century. Its present name is concluded from the title given to Narasimha Varman as Mahamalla meaning a great warrior. The place is among the most distinguished examples of Dravidian art and architecture.
