The Granite Temple Against the Sea The Shore Temple is an early-8th-century granite temple at Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), Tamil Nadu, India, built around 700 to 728 CE under the Pallava king Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha). Overlooking the Bay of Bengal, it is one of the oldest structural stone temples in South India, assembled from cut blocks rather than carved from living rock, and enshrines both Shiva and Vishnu in its linked shrines.
