Event Description: FILM - Enchanted Mamallapuram, Documentary Film in English

The recent Summit between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi was held at Mamallapuram because of the historic connections between India and China in early times, through the port of Mamallapuram. It has been one of the most important ports in the history of India.
                                           
On the shores of Tamil Nadu, on the eastern coast of peninsular India, is a marvellous town of temples, carved out of the rock. Mamallapuram was one of the greatest sea-faring ports of ancient times. This port town was called Mamalai, or ‘Great Hill’. Ships sailed constantly from here to Sri Lanka, South East Asia and China.

Here, over perhaps a hundred years, from about 630 to 728 CE, marvellous monuments were cut out of outcrops of hard grey granite. Cliff faces were transformed into a teeming world of animals and people. Boulders were carved into fine temples and rocks were chiselled into the shapes of animals. Mamallapuram is indeed an enchanted place.
