Mahabalipuram, now called officially Mamallapuram, is 40 km south of Chennai [old Madras] on the Bay of Bengal. It is a fishing village and the shore temples are a world heritage site. On my way to Tirupati I stayed there with Moin after he met me at the airport We stay at the Golden sun Beach Resort |
