tourist place. Welcome to mahabalipuram, a legacy in stone.
Mahabalipuram lies on the Coromandel Coast which faces the Bay of Bengal.
This is an elegant place to watch which a well established sea port was
during the 7th and 10th centuries of the Pallava dynasty. This was the
second capital of the Pallavas who ruled Kanchipuram. Formerly,
mahabalipuram was known and called as Mahabalipuram. The former name of
this place ‘Mahabalipuram’ has a history. A very rude cruel king Mahabali
reined this place and in a fierce battle king Mahabali was killed by Lord
Vishnu and the place was named after the dead, arrogant kind Mahabali.
It was during the reign of King Narasimha Varman I, the name Mahabalipuram
was changed. It was renamed mahabalipuram which is called till now. There
is a story behind. The name Mamallpuram king Narasimha Varman I was a
great and valiant warrior. He was given the title Mamalla which means ‘the
great wrestler’ so the name was converted from Mahabalipuram to
mahabalipuram considering the great king and his achievements.
After the decline of the Gupta Dynasty, the pallavas rose to the pioneer
in south India. They ruled over from the 3rd century till the end of the
9th century A.D. The best period of their rule was between 650 and 750 AD
and this period was called the Golden Age of the pallavas. The pallavas
were very powerful. They were profound thinkers.
It was during the rule of the pallavas, great poets, dramatists, artists,
artisans, scholars and saints emerged. As one can say that the pallavas
are the pioneers and forerunners of new styles both in art and
architecture and mahabalipuram is the best place to praise off their skill
and talent. New sculptures and unique paintings were innovative and
exuberant. This place mahabalipuram itself became their exploring field
and they made the best use of the resources. They game a shape and
creative energy to what they imagined. It became a dream come true as it
witnessed innovations in all styles.
The richness in mahabalipuram was not known to many, as these pallavas did
not outlet and expose their quality and innovative creations to the outer
world for obvious reasons. The aestheticism in mahabalipuram was hidden
until the late 185h century. What is special about mahabalipuram? Of
course every one can point out the rock - cut caves, temples made from a
single rock, temples and strives of different structures, and bas-reliefs
which are so artistic and sheer creativity. Mamallpuram is referred as an
‘open-air museum’. The great pallava kings Narasimha I and Rajasimha have
well preserved these stylistic qualities that one enjoys in mahabalipuram
even in the present day.
The beauty of the place is not only due to these architecture but the vast
casuarinas trees, the silvery sandy beach the classical hand male crafts
around have made them all to form what is a collective splendor. Any
visitor who visits mahabalipuram will remain startled and intoxicated with
the grandeur. They feel hand hearted and more out from this historical and
fascinating tourist spot.
