Shore Temple (Mahabalipuram, India)

Shore Temple is a structural temple, built up of granite blocks. It is a part of Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram and has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The image shows a garden area besides the temple, along with the fountains. This picture is taken during evening and shows an overall view of the temple from a distance.

Here, we waited for a lot of time for tourists to get clear from this place, so that the true essence of Shore Temple can reflect in the picture.

Extra Info - This was the place of recent summit between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Yes @C_T

They are at the same place called Mahabalipuram, separated from around 1-2 kilometres from each other.

You are right @aaryesdee Sir … I hope this brings more and more tourism to this place.

It will also help such places to remain protected by the government authorities.
