India - 3

Mamallopuram was once the seaport of the Pallava kings of Kanchipuram. The town is famous for its ancient rock carvings of 6th century AD. The Five Rathas are temples and animals carved top to bottom from one huge rock. Other temples are sculpted caves. The shore temple is constructed from the bottom up.
