This is a costal temple

#celebrateit Chennai is the central city of South India facing the Bay of Bengal. The town was renamed from the colonial name "Madras" in 1996, and is famous for its beautiful Marina Beach and George Town, which was built during the British colonial period. Located about 60 kilometres from Chennai, the "Mahabali Plum" flourished as a base for East-West trade around the 7th century. There is a "coastal temple" where many Hindu ruins remain and are registered as a World Heritage Site. In addition, about 77 kilometres southwest of Chennai, there is the temple city of Khanchipuram, one of the seven sacred places of Hinduism.
