2 pictures from Mahabalipuram

The following picture came up on my screen saver, so I thought I would post it.   It is the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram).
 
 
I stopped in Mahabalipuram on the way to Pondicherry.  It was way to short of a stop.  I spent a little over an hour there, the entire time I did not stop walking, it was one fast paced tour that missed much of the wonder of this little town.   The next morning in Pondicherry, a Swiss couple staying at the hotel said they had spent a week in Mahabalipuram and wished they had more time.
 
I will add one more picture that is just amazing.  The elephant in this carving is over a thousand years old and is over 20 (7 meters) tall.  Very impressive.
