| 500 | _aBuilt in 700 CE, Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram) is a unique monument that combines art form with religion and legends, and showcases the best of Tamil art and architecture. Part of the prestigious Monumental Legacy series, this book presents a graphic account of the site and its monuments-mandapas (cave temples), rathas (chariots), open air bas-reliefs, and structural temples. Arjuna's penance to obtain Pashupata astra , Goddess Durga's victory over Mahishasura, Vishnu's incarnation as varaha, Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill-all familiar legends come alive in Mahabalipuram. The author also surveys other related sculptures, panels, inscriptions, as well as the shore temple. | ||
