Shore Temple and a ball

Under construction... The Shore Temple in Mamallapuram is absolutely beautiful, even under a tarp. The temple is thought to be the last in a series of buildings that are now submerged. This theory gained credibility since the Tsunami in 2004 when the receding waters revealed outlines of what may have been sister temples.



I wandered around with only one other family and checked out the intricacy of the carvings. Considering it was originally constructed in the 7th century a facelift was probably long overdue. The family kept taking pictures of me when they did not think I was looking so I took one of them!



Shiva are you in there?



After the temple I went to check out Krishna's Butterball. I have no idea why it is named that but what I do know is this rock is literally perched on a hill. I have thought long and hard how this can be possible and have decided that somethings in life are just inexplicable and I am learning to be okay with that.
