The first week that I was here we went to Mahabalipuram, a city about 1-2 hours south of Chennai for a training. Here are some pictures:
The Shore Temple (which is on the beach) is dated from the 9th century C.E. It is not currently used for worship.
This pillar, inside the temple, represents Shiva, the destroyer
A traditional Tamil dancer who performed for us, together with some muscians.
Scene near one of the temples. It shows the Goddess Durga slaying the demon.
The city is famous for stone carvings such as this one of Lord Ganesh.
We also saw a fire dancer.
More pictures can be found here.

Wow, the Shore Temple looks awesome! Great pictures! What a fantastic experience. How long are you there for?
Hi Jamie. I will probably be here for about 1 year. Will you be in the neighborhood any time soon?
