Of sand and stone castles...Mahabalipuram.

My first trip outside Chennai with my new post-grad college friends. Perfect weather, good friends and an amazing place. Mahabalipuram was a Sunday well spent. Temples and sculptures out of single rock caves, there are about 5 temples in Mahabalipuram. It took about 3 hours to get around the entire place. Truly an architectural wonder.




























Towards the end it started to rain...the rain on the elephant carvings in the last photo just makes it all the more better.
The first of many trips in South India. :)
