Mahabalipuram temple & Rathas (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

* Thirukadalmallai, the temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu
* Descent of the Ganges - a giant open-air bas relief



* Arjuna's Penance - relief sculpture on a massive scale extolling an episode from the Hindu epic, The Mahabharata.

In one interpretation, a figure in the bas-relief who is standing on one leg is said to be Arjuna performing an austerity
Tapas to receive a boon from Shiva as an aid in fighting the Mahabharata war. The boon which Arjuna is said to have
received was called Pasupata, Shiva's most powerful weapon.



* Varaha Cave Temple - a small rock cut 7th century temple.

* Pancha Rathas (Five Chariots) - five monolithic pyramidal structures named after the Pandavas (Arjuna, Bhima, Yudhishtra, Nakula and Sahadeva) and Draupadi. An interesting aspect of the rathas is that, despite their sizes they are not assembled — each of these is carved from one single large piece of granite.

Draupadi & Arjuna rathas

* The Shore Temple - a structural temple along the Bay of Bengal.
