1. Mumu Surf School
Overall Ratings

WHAT IS SURFING? When surfing in India started, the people in the few fisherman villages with good waves did not understand why people are riding waves with these weird white boards. Just for fun? Isn’t it a waste of time? A surf student is taking one of her first green waves Until you finally take your first own wave, cruising from side to side, almost flying on the pure energy of the ocean you probably will not understand. Surfing is a sport, a challenge, a passion, a connection to nature or just pure exercise. It became the life of so many people around the world. Mumu Surf School was the first surf shop located near Chennai and we have an intimate knowledge of the sea, the waves and how to ride them best. Raised in a fishing family in Mamallapuram, we are always connected with the ocean. Besides the pure passion for surfing, Mumu is a qualified in ISA Instructor with a Surf Rescue License, PADI Divemaster and Rescue Scuba Diver.

Many interesting rock-cut temples and giant open-air reliefs from the 7th and 8th centuries.

Beautiful beach side setting, lovely village with good shops and restaurants, and so many amazing things to see - ancient rock carvings, cave-like temples hewn from granite, beautiful shore temple, lovely old working lighthouse and gravity-defying Krishna's Butterball Boulder! All within easy walking distance - a real treasure trove.

The Shore Temple is so named because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD. At the time of its creation, the site was a busy port during the reign of Narasimhavarman II of the Pallava dynasty.
6. Pancha Rathas

Reviewed By Donna_in_India - New York City, United States
Panch Rathas, also known as Five Rathas, is a complex of monolithic rock-cut temples dating back to the mid-7th century. The Panch (five) Rathas (processional temple chariots) are named after the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the Indian epic Mahabharata. They are Draupadi Ratha, Nakula Sahadeva Ratha, Bhima Ratha, and Dharmaraja Ratha. The shrine panels are richly carved with Hindu deities. Two things make the rathas unique. The first is that the stones were cut in situ. The second is that the styles and techniques of wooden architecture were imitated in stone creating a variety of forms. These would later influence the very distinct South Indian temple design. The temples were never finished so none were ever used for worship.

This bas-relief with life-size images from a mythical story adorns a huge rock.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
A must visit - it is a huge rock face (96 feet long and 43 ft high);covered with hundreds of carves statues and on the right a family of elephants! It really an eyeful and is the second longest carver mural in the world ( so we were told). It tells a tale of Arjuna but there is some dispute about this too! Still whatever- it is a must see!

If you are fond of sculptures this is place. Please be sure to start your day early as lighthouse, maritime museum, Krishna butter ball, Arjuna penance, varaha temple all are in same premises and it is a bit of a walk. But very clean and neat place.
