Tiger’s Cave is located near Salurankuppam village at a distance of 5 km to the north of Mahabalipuram. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Tiger’s Cave is actually a rock-cut cave temple dedicated to goddess Durga and is crowned with several heads of the mythical creature, Yali, which looks like a lion or a tiger. While one side of the cave is crowded with heads, the other is carved into a single ferocious head of a Yali. A puddle of water below reflects the many heads as several eyes of the animal gape at you, giving the village a new name. Built by Narasimhavarman I in the 7th century, Tiger’s Cave is actually a porch or a mantapa from where the king perhaps gave audience. The mandapam is like an open-air theatre and, even today, it is one of the venues of the Mahabalipuram Festival.

Dharmaraja Cave Temple at Mamallapuram in Tamil Nadu, from the south-west, taken by Alexander Rea in the 1880s. Mamallapuram, a tiny village south of Madras, was a flourishing port of the Pallava dynasty during the 7th – 8th centuries. The site is famous for an early group of monolithic temples, known as the ‘Pancha Ratha’ and some monolithic sculptures assigned to the 7th century reign of Narasimhavarman Mahamalla (reigned 630-668 AD). Along a granite hill are some rock-cut caves and the celebrated sculptured rock depicting Arjuna’s penance. The Dharmaraja Cave Temple dates from the early seventh century. It consists of an open mandapa with three sanctuaries excavated into the rear wall. Guardian figures flank the doorway but the architectural elements are unadorned. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Dharmaraja Cave is a 7th century artistic cave temple structure, which has three empty shrines. For these three deities, there are three garbagrihams (cells), which are empty at present.
