Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram, is situated in India's Tamil Nadu state, between the Bay of Bengal and the Great Salt Lake. The ancient port town is also a charming tourist hub, attracting travellers for centuries with its enthralling temples. It was once known as the 'Seven Pagodas', alluding to the seven tiered towers that once stood on the shore, of which one – the Shore Temple – still stands.
