The Shore Temple (about 725 AD) is a temple and shrine complex that overlooks the Bay of Bengal's shore. It's at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India, around 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of Chennai.
It dates from the 8th century AD and is a structural temple made of granite stones. During the reign of Narasimhavarman II of the Pallava dynasty, the location was a major harbour at the time of its construction. Since 1984, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Mahabalipuram Group of Monuments. It is one of South India's earliest structural (as opposed to rock-cut) stone temples.
The place was known as Seven Pagodas by Marco Polo and later European traders who arrived to Asia. The Shore Temple is thought to be one of them. The temple was most likely used as a navigational aid for mariners. The name was recognisable to seamen because it resembled a pagoda.
This group of sanctuaries, founded by the Pallava kings, was carved out of rock along the Coromandel coast in the 7th and 8th centuries. It is known especially for its rathas (temples in the form of chariots), mandapas (cave sanctuaries), giant open-air reliefs such as the famous 'Descent of the Ganges', and the temple of Rivage, with thousands of sculptures to the glory of Shiva.
Mahabalipuram's early history is unknown, although numismatic and epigraphical evidence, as well as its temples, show that it was a major place before the monuments were created. It is thought to be the seaport of Sopatma described in Periplus of the Erythraean Sea in the first century or Ptolemy's harbour of Melange in his Geographia in the second century. Another idea suggests that the port of Nirppeyarvu described in the Perumpanarrupadai in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was Mahabalipuram or Kanchipuram. It is UNESCO World Heritage Site present at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.
