The Monolithic Rock Temples of Mahabalipuram are a group of five monolithic structures located in the town of Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram) in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, along the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal.

The temples were constructed in the 7th century AD during the reign of the Pallava dynasty, under the rule of King Narasimhavarman I. The temples are dedicated to various Hindu deities.
Each of the five temples is named after characters from the Mahabharata, one of India’s epic narratives. The structures are carved from single, massive granite boulders, creating a series of shrines. They feature Dravidian-style gopurams (towered gateways) and finely detailed sculptures of gods, animals, and mythological figures.

They vary in form and size, resembling chariots (rathas), hence the name “Pancha Rathas” (Five Chariots). Together, the monolithic temples at Mahabalipuram are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
