Mahabalipurum’s Underwater Temples

For hundreds of years legends told of seven temples,

yet only one stood on the shore

The legends spoke of seven temples that were so dazzling, the gods grew envious and sent a flood that submerged all but one of them, leaving the shore temple companionless…

Then a disastrous tsunamiOn December 26, 2004

stripped away the sandsand exposed the

six temples that had been underwaterfor a millennium.
