Saluvankuppam (Mamallapuram) temple complex
  • Hi

    a month or so back,sathish, vk, sivaram, nadarajan and myself went to
    this site.

    the excavation had gone to a depthof 10-15 feet.

    we were not allowed to take photos.

    they directed us to an area where pot shreds, and other ancient
    materiel which had been found were kept.

    a huge rock was in the middle around which the prakaram went. what
    was fascinating was that the entire complex was so much below the sea
    level and so close to the sea.
    i wondered if this was due to sea water rising in the last 2
    millienia or change in topography where the sea was quite faraway.
