The exterior embossed blocks at Mamallapuram are a novelty not found anywhere else in India.

The reason for the name

The name Mamallapuram is due to the fact that Mamallar, a Narasimha, once painted a picture of an elephant on a rock while strolling with his father. It was only after seeing it that he came up with the idea of ​​building immortal temples on the rocks for his father. So he gave the city its name.
