Dear Author www.shantanughosh.com !
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. Write to me in PM, we will talk.

@Karthik: Good to see you here. Thanks. Not sure if I will have the time while in Bangalore (which is where I am right now!).

@GMG: I know, I know. I have been tardy in my browsing habits lately.

@Sid: Welcome here! Thank you for your comments. The only restaurant near M'puram I tried was at the Fisherman's Cove.

Wonderful picture of the balanced stone. Gives a very nice perspective. I really liked the shore temple and even a couple of restaurants around the area. Maybe you should give one of them a try the next time.

Been following your blog for a long time and love the restaurant reviews, especially the ones inside the hotels. First comment I guess :)

Hi Shantanu! It looks lovely! One day I'll see it on the spot... ;))

Waiting for you at Blogtrotter, which is firmly back to an amazing building... ;)). Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Hello Shantanu, This is indeed a very vivid and picturesque account of Mahabalipuram. Have not been able to visit your blog lately. It is very refreshing to read your blog :)Have not been able to meet you ever since I left the company.Do let me know when you come down to Bangalore.

@Mani: Thanks again. I will keep the additional info in mind for the next trip. :)

@Kyh: Yes, the name escaped me...had read about it in John Keay's wonderful book, The Spice Trail.

Those are some architectural gems! What nice temples and sculptures. I love these cultural stuff. :)

And oh, nutmegs are from the Maluku islands, the so-called 'Spice Islands' in Eastern Indonesia.

Shantanu,

It was a pleasure to take you around Mamallapuram (as Mahabalipuram was known to history).

There is a lot more to see at Mahabalipuram. The next time you may want to go to the Tiger Cave area to study the oldest Devnagari inscriptions. The Pallava Sanskrit inscriptions are gorgeous to look at.

And if you get a chance, you should visit Kanchipuram the ancient city praised by Kalidasa as "nagareshu kanchi." Its Kailasanathar temple is presumed to be the model for the Ellora Kailasanath temple.

@Vamsee: Yes, one of those rare times. :)

@Nimesh: Thank you. And do share your experiences from the trip.

@Aathira: Oh yes, I love the seafood in the shacks on the beach in Goa.

@Lakshmi: I guess you would know the history behind this place much better than I do. This was my first trip and I didn't have time to explore the light-house. But I did learn a thing or two about the epicurean Pallavas.

Nice description with very nice photos. I was planning a trip to Mahabalipuram and Puducherry and this will certainly add fuel to my planning!

A non-food post from you in a long time! Nice! Mahabalipuram has been on my list ever since I was a kid and your post makes my resolve stronger. Some of those carvings are just beautiful.

I am in Indonesia now, eating a Mexican dinner (not bad):)

Aah... squid .. that reminds me of the shacks in Goa serving various finger licking dishes of squids and prawns.
