The
history of Mahabalipuram dates back to two thousand years, it
contains nearly forty monuments of different types including an
"open air bas relief" which is the largest in the world, for
centuries it has been a centre of pilgrimage, it figures in the
early annals of the British search for the picturesque in India
in the 18th century, today it attracts shoals of foreigners in
search of relaxation and sea bathing, and most strange of all,
it has an atomic power plant for neighbour. A small library has
been written on it. Over its history and that of its monuments a
number of scholarly controversies rage.
