    SHORE TEMPLE

          5

    The Shore Temple (700-728 CE) is so named because it over looks the

    Bay of Bengal. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of

    granite, dating from the 8th century AD.

  1. This marvel sculptured in rock is located at Mamallapuram, 58 km from

    Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu in Southern India. Approximately

    96ft long and 43 ft high, carved in mid seventh century on the face

    of two enormous adjacent boulders, this is one of the biggest open-

    air rock sculptures in the world.
