Five Temples Carved From Single Stones The Pancha Rathas are a cluster of five monolithic temples at Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), Tamil Nadu, India, each carved from a single outcrop of granite in the 7th century under the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I (Mamalla). Named after the five Pandava brothers and their queen Draupadi, the Dharmaraja, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula-Sahadeva and Draupadi rathas, each takes the form of a temple chariot, and each experiments with a different architectural style.
