Tours to Mahabalipuram

A seventh century port city, Mahabalipuram is also known as Mamallapuram. Established by rulers of the Pallava dynasty, Mahabalipuram is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Famous for its exotic shore temples, Mahabalipuram is an important destination in the Indian tourism circuit. An enigmatic aspect of all Mahabalipuram monuments is the fact that most of them are incomplete.

Located at a distance of 58 kilometers from Chennai, Mahabalipuram was the second capital of the Pallava Empire and most of the monuments that you see on the shores of this epic city were built in between the 7th and 9th centuries.

History

Mahabalipuram finds a mention in writings left behind by ancient seafarers and scholars such as Ptolemy and Periplus. With a 2000-year old history, Mahabalipuram's early years are shrouded in mystery.

There are several legends associated with the origin of the term Mahabalipuram. According to one tale Mahabalipuram is an adaptation of the name Mamalla that was an honorific used for the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I.

Another legend indicates that the region is named after King Mahabali who was chastened by Lord Vishnu.
