Mahabalipuram, India: Four Of The Five Pallava 7th Century Rathas Each Sculpted Out Of A Single Granite Rock, Lined Up In This Shot stock photo

Mahabalipuram, India: Four Of The Five Pallava 7th Century Rathas Each Sculpted Out Of A Single Granite Rock, Lined Up In This Shot Image shows the Dharmaraja, Bhima, Arjuna and Draupadi Rathas all lined up. Four of the five Pancha Rathas (also known as Pandava Rathas), a monument complex at Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Dating from the late 7th century, it is attributed to the reigns of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I (630-680 AD) of the Pallava Kingdom. The structures are without any precedence in Indian temple architecture and are carved out of a single granite rock each. Remarkably well preserved, they withstood the ravages of the Tsunamis of the 13th Century and 2004. They however display the effects of wind and sand erosion of over one thousand three hundred years. These are not temples as they are unfinished, and were never consecrated. They are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site at Mahabalipuram. Photo shot in the afternoon sunlight; horizontal format.
