In today's episode, we embark on an enthralling journey to uncover the ancient wonders of Mahabalipuram. Founded by the Pallava kings in the 7th and 8th centuries, Mahabalipuram is a treasure trove of rock-cut sanctuaries along the Coromandel coast. Join our guest, Kamini Dandapani (@carnaticmom), a distinguished artist, musician, and historian, as she guides us through the mesmerizing history and architectural marvels of this UNESCO World Heritage site. From the iconic rathas (temples in the form of chariots) to the magnificent mandapas (cave sanctuaries) and the renowned 'Descent of the Ganges' relief, Mahabalipuram showcases India's rich cultural heritage in all its glory.
