Incredible India!

 On the third day of my stay in Chennai, my uncle took me and my mom to see the Shore Temple and the Five Rathas. There are other monuments too. Together they have been declared a World Heritage Sight. The structure was built during the Pallava Dynasty under King Narasimhavaram. The temple is affected by the rough sea and the salt laden winds. The inscriptions are fading away due to these winds.

I also visited the Pancha Ratha. It consists of five shrines for the five Pandavas.

The architectural beauty of the place proves that India has a very rich heritage. Truly incredible India!
