Buddhism, Jainism and Brahminism were prevailing among the pallavas. The people were great painters and lovers of literature and arts. Gradually the culture was down throned by the cholas and the pallava's golden era came to an end!!!!!!!!!!

The town remains still as one of the major tourist attractions in south India..........

How to reach Mahabalipuram :


BY Air: Chennai is the nearby airport which is about 58 kms from mahabalipuram, and has both domestic and international terminals. From Chennai their are direct flights to all the major cities in India

Note: This is still not a full coverage of the place. There are lots of things more. I was unfortunate to grab all the photos.
