Mahabalipuram, a 7th century port city around 60 km south from the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu has many historic rock-cut and monolithic monuments built between 7th - 9th century AD. Most famous of these rock cut works is a massive bas-relief rock dating from the 7th century CE measuring 96 feet long by 43 feet high. It is an awe-inspiring marvelous piece of finely crafted stone and one can gaze it in wonder admiring the fine craftsmanship and time and effort which must have gone in building it.
