上周六，去了清奈南边60公里的海边神庙－马哈巴里普拉姆。

偷懒，copy wiki上的解说吧。

The Shore Temple (700-728 CE) is so named because it over looks the Bay of Bengal. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD. It was build on a promontory sticking out into the Bay of Bengal at Mamallapuram, a tiny village south of Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The village was a busy port during the 7th and 8th century reign of the Pallava dynasty during the reign of Narasimhavarman II.^[1]

The site is famous for the rock-cut caves and the sculptured rock that line a granite hill, including one depicting Arjuna's Penance as well as for other temples in the area. It has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.It is one of the oldest structural (versus rock-cut) stone temples of South India.

神庙的正面，是两个庙，一大一小。

另一个角度拍的。

神庙旁边的草地，后面就是大海了，孟加拉湾。

这个是爬到一个山上的神庙拍的照片了。中间那个尖尖的就是这座神庙。

困了，今天就发这些吧，明天继续，那天拍了不少照片呢。

据说海啸的时候，这个神庙被淹了，但是海水退去的时候带走了沙子，两个神庙重见天日了。导游说还有神庙被埋在不远的海底。我们过来的时候，路边有一些茅屋，猪同学说，就是当年海啸中失去家的人盖的，不知道这些人什么时候再会有自己的房子。

还有件事情，我们在路边发现一个人躺在地上一动不动，上半身用布盖着。他说是死了么，我没敢多看，就觉得周围人来人往的景点，应该不会是死了吧。他下车，小心的在不远处看看了，跟我说，肯定是死了。觉得怪难受的。就那么躺在路边，没有人理会了。神灵并没有庇护他呀。
