Mahabalipuram served as a school for sculptors. The tradition continues and many make a living out of sculpting. In this photo, Kundalam, a local, is engrossed in carving a hand-cum-snake depiction. |

Built 1887. Inactive since 1900. Approx. 20 m (66 ft) square stone structure with gallery atop a monolithic stone temple (carved from a single rock), dating from around the start of the 8th century AD. Fires were lit atop this temple for centuries as a guide to seamen, and in 1877 the British placed a lantern atop the temple for the same purpose. |
