This is a long time & life time wish to portray this beautiful piece of art through my vision, even though this beauty had clicked, painted in many forms.

When i was in age of 5, I had a chance to visit this place and still remember that vist,
after years later i found a Historical Novel Sivagamiyin sabatham ( சிவகாமியின் சபதம் in Tamil) is a Tamil historical novel written by Kalki, Portraying the history of the temple and its divine beauty and that holds me in a imaginary world of this place still...
even the day i visited, i visualize myself in a 700 AD.

Mahabalipuram,
derived from 'Mamallapuram' (Tamil: மாமல்லபுரம்) is a town in Kancheepuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Mahabalipuram was a 7th century port city of the South Indian dynasty of the Pallavas around 60 km south from the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The name Mamallapuram is believed to have been given after the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, who took on the epithet Maha-malla (great wrestler), as the favourite sport of the Pallavas was wrestling. It has various historic monuments built largely between the 7th and the 9th centuries, and has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
