Hey guys, today let us take a look at this brilliant ancient temple in Mahabalipuram, known today as the Shore temple. It is at least 1300 years old and has a lot of mysterious features. Who is the main God of this temple? Is it dedicated to Shiva or Vishnu? Let us go inside one of the main chambers and see what's inside. Here you can see a spectacular carving in a sleeping position, this is Lord Vishnu and he is resting on a gigantic serpent, using the snake as a bed. This carving was done 13 centuries ago and you can see, one of his hands is completely gone. A part of his foot is also missing. Almost none of his facial features are even recognizable. Even in this condition, the statue looks quite beautiful, imagine how fantastic it would have looked 1300 years ago. Even better, locals remember that this Vishnu would get submerged underwater, because it is so close to the sea and they would come and visit him with water level up to their knees. This is why this temple was originally called Jalashayana Temple, because it means 'Resting in Water'. So, is this temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu? Let us go into another chamber nearby. This east facing chamber, has a gigantic Lingam, which is a symbol of Shiva. It has been partially destroyed, but you can still see it has 16 facets and it is made of advanced technology. I have explained about this lingam in a different video, but if you go into another chamber which is facing west, we see there is just a circular hole on the ground. There used to be a lingam in this place, but it was destroyed. On the wall, you can see Shiva and his wife sitting with a baby. Now, this is strange, because Shiva has 2 kids. Who does this carving show? Tell me in the comments section.
Historians tell us that followers of Shiva and followers of Vishnu were always fighting against each other in ancient times, but this temple disproves all these theories, because we can see how both deities were carved and worshipped in the same temple.
The Shore temple complex has 2 towers, which look like stepped pyramids and the towers stand about 60 feet tall and rest on a 50 feet square platform. This is chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage site, because of its fantastic location and amazing architecture. The shore temple is made almost entirely out of Granite, although you can see brick and mortar in supporting monuments. Mahabalipuram is an ancient city and there are various types of constructions found here. This model you see is called 'structural' or 'built-on' architecture, where rocks are placed on top of one another, to build a structure. In Mahabalipuram, you can also see cave temples, Bas relief structures which are 2-dimensional panels, and even monolithic temples, resembling models of Kailasa Temple.
