Namaskar! We are starting our day in Tamil Nadu's Mahabalipuram today. About a year and a half ago, I undertook a coastal journey of Tamil Nadu, starting in Kaniyakumari. At that time, we travelled from Kaniyakumari to Madurai, via Rameshwaram.
We also went to Thanjavur. This time, I have started my journey from Velankanni. After Velankanni, we visited Kumbakonam.
From there, we visited Chidambaram and, then, to Pondicherry. As you can see, we are in Mahabalipuram now and this journey will go on to Chennai. Through this map, it will be clear that our coastal journey will continue till Chennai. Now, we'll talk about today's video.
Mahabalipuram is also known as Mamallapuram. India has many stone-carved cities and Mahabalipuram is one of those. We are starting our day with a visit to the Sea Shore Temple. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Santosh Bhai will take us on a guided tour of this temple.
Namaste! Vanakkam Sir! We've been talking about this temple for the past some time and he has told me that this temple... ...dedicated to Bhagwan Vishnu and Bhagwan Shiv, was built during the 6th and 8th centuries. This temple was submerged in the sea. During the 16th century, the sea-water receded some distance.
It was then that this temple came to light. So this temple came out of sand. Yes, sand and water. Sand and water. In 16th century? In 16th century.
Is there some kind of puja (worship) also performed here? Not now sir, because the Shiv idol inside is broken. Therefore, Shiv ji's Puja isn't happening. Okay! Bhagwan Vishnu's idol is in sleeping position, that's why no worship. When the temple idols are broken or stolen, we don't worship there. It is considered a monument. Understood! It is called a Sea Shore temple because we are by the sea shore. We have sea on our left and right sides.
And there is sea in front of us as well. Yes! Lovely! So, let's look at some carvings and try to understand the architecture. Yes Sir! Yes Sir! This temple is made with stones placed together using the interlock system.
Different stones are put together with the stone-binding system. The whole temple is made of granite stones. This is complete granite? Granite, local stone only. But the Lingam inside and the Kalash on the top are made of Basalt stone.
That stone was brought from Andhra Pradesh. Okay! Because the Pallavas ruled parts of Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Hmm! Lovely! Inside the temple, Lord Vishnu is sleeping with his snake. If anybody has got an issue or problem in life, they can come and pray here & find solution.
Lord Vishnu here is known by two names - Sthalasayana Perumal & Jalasayana Perumal. 'Sthala' means land, 'sayana' means sleeping, 'Perumal' means Vishnu. Jalasayana means 'paani' (water). Since this temple was underwater long time ago, that is why, he is called Jalasayana Perumal.
Beautiful temples! So nice! Can you tell me about the carvings inside? Sir, actually, using the hand binoculars would be much better. Hand binoculars! Yes Sir! Yeah! very clear! Very clear Sir! There is a total of five gods there. The first statue is that of Lord Brahma. On top left? Top left! Then the middle, big statue is that of Lord Shiva.
Then, the one on top right is that of Lord Vishnu. The next one is the Goddess Parvati. Shiva-Parvati's very small baby is sitting on the left - Kartikeya! Okay! It is like we call this panel as 'Somaskanda.' All in one frame! One frame! Like a family picture.
And Lord Ganesha is here. Here! Because he is the welcome God! This is such a lovely frame! Yes Sir! And it is handmade. The Shivling here is facing East. The broken lingam is facing East. On the other side lingam is facing sunset.
Hmm! It was very long time back Sir. It feels good to be here and we've had a brilliant start to our day with this visit. What we can do now is we can go and have breakfast.
Then as the day progresses. Definitely Sir. Sure! For breakfast, we've come to the Mamalla Bhavan. Since 1959. 1959 Sir! Old eatery! Yes, Sir! I've ordered for myself Pongal with Vada.
And Ghee Masala Dosa! In the South, I can speak for Tamil Nadu, at least,... ...if you ask for khichdi, you'll get Pongal. By khichdi, they mean Rawa (semolina) and vegetables. Right! Let's dig in! It is good! Absolutely decent! Nice! Actually, this is Pongal, Sir, one of the sleeping doses. Once you eat it, you will get to sleep very quickly. If you remove black pepper from Pongal, it will change its taste completely.
Its taste is because of this black pepper. You like pepper? Definitely Sir! I also like pepper. Actually, this is available in the market area here, like a normal pepper. But, if we go to Kerala, we'll get good pepper.
Kerala pepper is famous! Yes, yes, yes, yes! We've just launched a start-up selling spices. So, what we are doing is, we are procuring spices from their places of origin. Same thing for nuts also. So, a small gift from my side to you. Kerala Black Pepper. You can taste a bit of it and tell me your genuine opinion about its quality.
It is a really nice taste Sir! The pepper we buy in the state market, this is the tasty one. You're saying this is better. So, it is better, much better. What rating would you give to this? Definitely I would give 9. 9 out of 10! Are you sure? Definitely Sir, sure! That means 9 is a good rating.
Yes Sir! Anyways, a small gift from my side. Alright! You were telling me of a temple nearby, dedicated to the 63rd avatar of Lord Vishnu. Yes Sir! So, let's go there. Let's do darshan and then proceed. Yes Sir! Inside the temple, I had darshan of Lord Vishnu's "Sthalasayana Perumal" form. This form of Bhagwan Vishnu is in the sleeping posture.
He has supported his body with his two hands. With one hand, he has supported the Earth. With another hand, he is blessing the devotees. The different thing that I noticed here is that he doesn't hold 'Shankh" or 'Chakra' in his hands. The Hampi rulers, who came here, noticed that the Sea Shore Temple was submerged in the sea. So, where should the devotees go for darshan.
It was then, 550-600 years ago, that they built this temple here... ...so that devotees could have darshan of Bhagwan Vishnu in 'Sthalasayana Perumal' form. Nice, interesting, good! Now, let us continue our Mahabalipuram journey. Let's see how the day progresses. Sir, the place where we are right now, it is called the 'Panch Pandava Rath.' Previously, this morning, we saw the Sea Shore Temple, which is previously under the water.
Yes, you told me under the sea. Yeah! But this area was buried under the sand. Under the sand? Buried, half of the temple.
Till when? Actually, in 1880, the East India Company noticed it. They came to visit, they cleaned the sand and found this whole structure. You mean to say this area was sandy, like this? Yes, if you clean the sand, full rocks were visible beneath it. Here? Yes Sir! It is named after Pandavas? Its a fictional story only. The Pandavas never came here. Okay! Yes! Draupadi Rath (Draupadi's chariot)! Yes, Sir! So, when were these temples actually built? Actually, these temples are 1400 years old, built in 600 A.D., by the Pallavas. 1400 years old temple! Yes! 600 A.D.
Yes! This is Draupadi Sir. The outside guardian. Arjuna Rath (Arjuna's chariot)! Arjuna Rath, but incomplete, it has no carvings inside! Because starting from the top, finishing at the bottom. Elephant to the right! Sir, this is Nakul-Sahadev's Rath. This elephant represents? Actually, Bhim is having a lot of power...
...that is the reason the Bhim Rath is having an elephant near it. Very strong! This is the 'Dharmaraj Rath'! This is a huge Rath in the city! Still incomplete! Because of the war attack! So, there was a fight between Pallavas and... ...Chalukyas! Chalukyas or Badamis? Badamis, right! Badamis in? Chalukya's capital, right! Which is in Karnataka! Karnataka! Earlier, when we entered the complex, I noticed this beautiful view. The design made with the five chariots. The architecture is really beautiful to look at. But, it is a completely different view as soon as we reach its back side. Especially now that we are looking at from this height.
Yes, Sir! The view has completely changed. Yes! Great! So, now, we can leave and go to the other location. What is that? Nandi? Nandi, actually Sir, is the Pallava's flag symbol. Okay, Nandi was Pallavas' flag symbol? Flag symbol! Interesting! Cholas had tiger! Pandyas had fish! Cheras had bow and arrow! Pallavas had this Bull, Nandi! Here is a statue of the 'Ardhanarishwara' Sir! Where? That's right. Ardhanarishwar.
Yes! Equal rights! So, the summary of the whole thing is that... ...the Pallavas made this temple and dedicated it to the Pandavas. Pandavas! Beautiful! The art in this place is amazing. See, the previous one is made in Dravidian style! It means South Indian temple architectural style! Okay! The second style used here is the Buddhism style, like a Stupa. The third style looks like an elephant's body. We call it the 'Gajabrishta.'
Gajabrishta means elephant-shaped. From here, it looks like elephant's shape. Then, the fourth one is again in the Dravidian style, which we call the South Indian temple style.
The fifth one is made like a cottage. It means like a hut model. The outside of the temple is like a cottage? Yes! All this is beautifully carved by the Pallavas.
One has to admit that all of this is beautifully carved! When I had visited Chennai, about 7-8 years ago,... ...I had also come to Mahabalipuram, on a half-day visit. I was more interested in food vlogging at that time. I didn't use to make sightseeing videos. If you look at me on the screen right now, you can assume how much weight I've lost since then. Since then, I think I must have lost at least 10-11 kg of body weight. Right! Now, let us talk about today's video.
I am now taking you to visit some more interesting monuments. I am sure you would be stunned to see at least one of those. No surprise! I am going to take you to visit the oldest lighthouse of India. It was built during the Pallava reign, in the 7th century. Sounds interesting, right? Let's go and visit. Right now, we are entering the Mahishasura Mardini Caves, Sir.
These caves are beautifully carved inside. One side is Durga and on the other side is demon. How old are these carvings? These carvings are also 1400 years old and done during the Pallava dynasty. This carving shows Goddess Durga fighting the demon, named Mahishasura.
The name means 'buffalo demon.' On one side are the demon warriors and on the other side are the demon warriors. I haven't seen such a clear carving of Ma Durga killing Mahishasura in a cave before. Also, how the two armies are fighting each other. And, as he told us, we are talking of carvings that were made 1400 years ago. Also, this is the only city to have Vishnu God sleeping at three locations.
The first one was at the Sea Shore Temple, where Lord Vishnu is sleeping without the snake. Another was the Shiv Temple, where also Lord Vishnu is sleeping without snake. But here, the Vishnu Bhagwan is sleeping with snake. Sheshnaag and deep sleeping Lord Vishnu! Same, Sthal, Sthalsayana! No, this is Ananthasayana.
This is not Sthalasayana. This is not a Sthalasayana, it is with a snake. Santosh Bhai has told me that just like the frame of Bhagwan Shiv and Ma Parvati, that we saw earlier,... ...we also get to see a similar frame, albeit larger, here inside the cave. Look above, at the left side. Brahma Ji! Bhagwan Shiv on this side! Vishnu Bhagwan on the top right side.
In the lower portion is Ma Parvati and Murugan Swami. When I asked about the absence of Ganesh Bhagwan, he explained that... ...when the Pallavas built the temples here,... ...they weren't properly aware of Bhagwan Ganesh. The Pallavas learned more about Bhagwan Ganesh, when they fought the Chalukyas.
When the Pallavas entered the Chalukyas' territory... ...they came to know that the family was complete only with the presence of Bhagwan Ganesh. So, who won in the first fight between the Pallavas and Chalukyas? First, the Pallavas won, then the Chalukyas won eventually. Will it be right to say that the Pallavas brought Lord Ganesha's idol from Badami? Yes, yes! And that Ganpati was called the 'Vatapi Ganpati." Vatapi! Vatapi! This is because the older name of Badami is 'Vatapi.'
Older name of Badami is Vatapi. Vatapi! Seriously, I feel like one should come here with ample quality time at disposal,... ...and appreciate each carving, acknowledging the fact that these are 1400 years old. Only then will you be able to appreciate a cave like this. He has asked me a question just now. He asked me if I knew the location of the oldest lighthouse in India.
I admitted that I had no knowledge about that. Then he told me I was standing right below it. He told me this is the oldest lighthouse of our country. You see the space above the Mahishasura Mardini Temple.
That is where the Pallava soldier used to be positioned. Or maybe a team of soldiers. From there, he used wood fire to signal the harbour to guide the boats and ships in the sea. It was a quiz for me! Yes Sir! A quiz for the competitive exams, the oldest lighthouse of our country. Yes, yes, yes! And what about this lighthouse? This lighthouse was built in the 19th century, Sir.
At that time, it was the East India Company that made this lighthouse. About 100 years old! 100 years old and still working. Entry into this lighthouse is allowed and tourists can roam inside.
Okay! Let's go to the top! Yes!! A while ago, I was down there. It is feeling good to stand atop the lighthouse and look down from there. I can see a lot of excited schoolchildren here today. Do you see the large water body in the distance? It is the backwaters of the Bay of Bengal sea.
Bay of Bengal is on this side, you can see it. Now, you might think why this lighthouse has been built about a kilometer from the sea. It would have been better to have it 200-300 meters from the sea.
Actually, the location of the lighthouse is at a height. The land near the sea is a little low in height. That is the reason why lighthouse was built here. This is amazing! Now, let's climb down.
What is this? We call it the Ramanuja Mandapam, Sir. It is dedicated to Vishnu Bhagwan and is incomplete. This was left incomplete because of the sudden war between the Pallavas and Chalukyas.
The speciality of this cave temple is its lion pillars. Why the lion? Because Pallavas had two symbols, one was the Nandi, and the second was the lion. Yes, you told me about the Nandi as a flag symbol.
This is a beautiful lion in the city. Beautiful! Right now, we've come to watch the view from here. This temple is called "Roya's Gopuram" and it is 600 years old. It was built by the VIjayanagar dynasty and, for some reason, it was also left incompleted. This is one of the incomplete monuments in the city.
But, you can see, these pillars are decorated with carvings of the Vishnu Dashavatars! Ten avatars are carved here. Can you tell about a couple of avatars? Yes, Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimhan, Vamana, Parasuram, Ram, Balram, Krishna, then Kalki. Now, the yuga (era) is that of Kalki, Kalyuga.
Rock-cut Varaha Temple! Yes, Sir, this temple is dedicated to Vishnu Bhagwan. Varaha is the 3rd avatar among Lord Vishnu's Dashavatars (ten reincarnations). Along with Lord Vishnu, there is Lakshmi. This is their wedding position. If someone is facing delay in marriage,... ...they come here, pray to Vishnu, and get married immediately. Okay! This is the very special form! Marriage scene! Marriage scene! Next to the marriage scene are Moon God, Sun God, Brahma, devotees, Nagraj, and Nagrani.
Then, there is the beautifully-carved Gajalakshmi! 'Gaja' means 'haathi' (elephant.) There are eight avatars of Ma Lakshmi, one of them is 'Gajalakshmi.' She is sitting on the lotus flower.
The ceiling is decorated with some vegetable colours. See this? Yes! These are the original colours, also added by the Pallava dynasty. So, this particular cabin, in which we are seeing the carving,... Yes! ...this was also done by the Pallava dynasty. 6th century? 6th century A.D. In this frame, we see the Vamana avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu. We know that Bhagwan Vishnu, in his Vamana Avatar, wrested most of the Earth...
...in donation from the demon king, Bali. Bhagwan Vishnu, in his Vamana avatar, put one foot on the Earth and second foot on the heaven. Then he asked Bali where to keep his third foot. Bali asked Vishnu Bhagwan to place the foot on Bali's head. That is what has been depicted in this carving.
This is... Durga! Durga Mata! Yeah! Before war! And these are other Gods and Goddesses? Attendants! Attendants! What is that? Attendants mean like 'Ganas'. Okay, Ganas with Goddess Durga. Yes! Wow! Interesting! Right now, we are in this place called Ganesh Ratha.
The local people recently started calling it Ganesh Ratha. Its old name is Shiv Temple. Okay! The local people worship to Ganesh here, for religious purposes.
The Shivling inside the temple was old and someone has stolen it. The bottom carvings in this temple are in Roman column style. Okay! The middle part is in Indian style of architecture while the top is in Buddhist style.
Same stone has been used to create this temple in three different styles of architecture. Interesting! Yes! And how old is this structure? This temple is 1400 years old. Same! But the Ganpati is 100 years old. Very nice! Since morning, whatever, we've been seeing in your company...
...is brilliant from the point of view of architecture and... ...the fact that these temples have been carved out of mountains, and carved so beautifully,... ...is just beautiful! So, where do we go now? Now, we'll go to the beautiful Balancing Rock. Its name is "Krishna's Makhan Gola" (Krishna's Butter Ball). Krishan? Krishna's Makhan Gola or Krishna's Butter Ball. Before coming here, I had seen some photographs of the Krishna's Butter Ball. But now that I am here, I am noticing that...
...I saw huge crowds of tourists either at the cave temples... ...or I am seeing it here. Now here, everybody takes a photo. Right! About this huge rock, Santosh ji is telling me that... ...it is in records that the British tried their hard to move this rock from here, even using 7 elephants. But even the 7 elephants together could not move this rock. The locals call it the Krishna's Butter Ball. What is the height of this rock? Actually, it is 6 metres high and 5 metres wide Sir.
Okay! And it weighs 250 tons. Weight is 250 tons!! Approximately, it is not the exact weight. Approximately. The standing space of this rock is 4 by 4 feet.
4! It is occupying a very small space! Too good! Too good! This rock is separate from the mountain Sir. Not the same. Separate means? Stone and the mountain are separate from each other! Stone is not part of the mountain! Yes, yes, yes, yes! What an amazing monument!! This is the main tourist spot! Yes, main tourist spot! Where are we going now? Now, we are going to see the "Trimurti Cave Temple Sir." Alright! Yes! This is Trimurti Temple! Trimurti Cave Temple! This is the Brahma! The Brahma normally has three faces (Trimukhi) but here it is only one face, So, how do you know, this is Lord Brahma! Actually Sir, the Lord Brahma is having two side strings.
Which string? You see that 'Rudraksh'? Yes, yes! It is two-sided! Who else is there in this? Ganas, devotees and guardians. Then the second one. Shivlingam! You know this is identified as Lingam but the bottom mould is stolen by somebody. This carving shows Vishnu Bhagwan carrying 'Shankh' (conch shell) and 'Chakra' (discus). It is an identification.
So beautiful! In the same way, he is also attended by the Ganas and the devotees. So beautiful! A short while ago, we saw the Ma Durga. This is Durga with eight arms, whom we call 'Ashtabhuja Ma Durga.' She is standing on a demon head. At all the places that we've visited since morning,...
...we've learned of the contributions of the Pallava dynasty to local culture & architecture. On one hand, I am surprised that I came here 8 years later to explore Mahablipuram in detail. I started this channel so many years ago. I am surprised because I should have come here earlier. Here, I am trying to imagine that the Shiva carvings of that time.... ....are still easily recognizable by us as Bhagwan Shiva. Alright! Similarly, we are able to identify Bhagwan Vishnu, Brahma ji, too, so... ...this is possible only because of the high-level accuracy in the art of the people of those times. Where do we go next? Now, we'll go to see how the stones break rocks.
In the absence of electricity, during the Pallava time, this is how rocks were broken down. This is the method that was followed. Make lines like these, with deep holes, put wood into these holes and then add water. Once the wood is wet, it starts expanding. Eventually, the stone breaks with that force. Really! Yeah! This is the method followed by the Pallavas during the ancient time.
The expansion of wood breaks the stone? Yes! Because the holes are made very deep into the stone. I have never thought about how rocks were broken in the ancient times. Actually stones were cut here, then transported by the elephants, and temples built near the beach. Fantastic......fantastic!
So, how about if we first go and have lunch? Yes Sir! Then do rest of the sightseeing? Definitely Sir! There are three more temples, which we can visit after lunch. We are staying in a hotel in the market area. Close to that is the Hotel Sri Anand Bhavan.
This is where we are going for lunch. I have ordered the veg special thali. Let's start from here. Dal, Rava Kesari, Dahi, Kara Kuzhambu,.... ...Dahi again, Korma, Medu Vada, Guttu,... ...it has Chana Dal in it. Rest of the items are this beetroot dish, rice and chapati. In the past few days, I've had Kara Kuzhambu with almost every meal.
When I ask someone, I am told it is Kara Kuzhambu. Each dish tastes different every day. I want to ask you. Yes Sir! Are there many varieties of Kara Kuzhambu? Yes Sir! Chennai-style different, Trichy-style different. No, I mean various types of Kara Kuzhambu.
Karuveppilai Kuzhambu, Kara Kuzbambhu, Vatta Kuzhambu,... Different types! Different types! And what type is this? This is Kara Kuzhambu, without coconut. No vegetable here? No vegetable. One thing is common. Whenever they make Kara Kuzhambu...I mean whenever a Kara Kuzhambu is made,... ...they will add lot of tamarind... Yes! ...and jaggery also. Definitely! Tamarind is higher in proportion.
Yes, yes, yes! Much more than (it is in) sambhar. Sambhar, right. It is appropriately sour. Though it is sweet because of the jaggery too, but the flavour tilts more towards the sourness. Apart from Chana Dal, what is this vegetable in the Guttu.
Yam! Yam...Yam! This is good too! It would be good to eat chapati with Guttu. This would go well with Guttu. It is common to eat this beetroot dish whenever we travel anywhere in the South.
You get to eat it anywhere you go. Talking of our homes, in North India,... ...we eat beetroot more as part of salad. Overall food is good. After lunch, we will complete our sightseeing for the day. We have to visit some more monuments. Thereafter, I would try to leave for Chennai between 3 and 4 PM.
I tasted the buttermilk after I had closed the video camera. And I also ate Kesari Rava after that. So, I just had to say that the two star dishes of today's lunch are buttermilk and Rava Kesari. I found both very delicious.
We have returned to the area where we were before lunch. Right now, we are looking at a big rock. This rock has beautiful carvings over it. So, imagine, the Pallavas took a big rock. And made 158 carvings on it. Now let me share with you my understanding of what these carvings are depicting.
Look at the part above. The person shown standing in the midst is Arjun. Right! Arjuna did penance for Lord Shiva for 12 years. He wanted to ask for Shiv's Pashupatastra (celestial weapon). Then you can see Bhagwan Shiv offering that astra (weapon) to Arjun.
You can also see various gods and goddesses standing on the left and right. Down here, it is shown as if the Ganga is flowing out of a snake. The carving shows Ganga in the form of a Mother. There are two big sculptures of elephants and below them are the sculptures of baby elephants. Look at the cat carved in front of the elephant trunk. Even the cat has been shown in the form of meditation.
You were telling me something about the size of this panel. Yeah! It is almost 10 meters in height, 20 meters in length, and 158 carvings. 158 carvings. It is the second-largest panel carving in the world.
Really, this is the second-largest panel carving? If you start looking carefully, you would be seeing these carvings for, at least, 15-20 minutes. Lovely! Right now, we are at the back side of the temple. In the morning, after breakfast, we had gone to visit that temple, in front of us right now.
It is the same temple behind which we are standing right now. This is a building, which we call Krishna Mandapam Sir. Its shelter was built by the Vijayanagar dynasty. This panel carving was done by the Pallava dynasty. Really! Yes! We know of the story of Krishna and that it belongs to the area of Vrindavan and Mathura.
This carving depicts a scene from that story, that of Krishna lifting the Goverdhan mountain. Hmm! On the top! Yes! Many people are shown standing under the mountain and doing different activities. Without panic! Villagers! The next one Sir is that of Krishna milking the cow, but his face is shown like that of Buddha. See the face! Yes, yes! The reason for that is because, in ancient time, the Chinese used to visit here for business, That is the reason for Chinese influence in the carvings.
The face is that of Buddha, but the dhoti (garment for lower part of body) worn in South-Indian style. Okay! The other carving is that of a man playing music, along with a cow. At the same time, there's a baby listening to Krishna's music while refusing the milk given by mother. Mother is requesting Krishna to stop playing music.
There is another beautiful, interesting carving in that part. You can see lions with different faces. The first lion is based on Chinese model, it is dragon-shaped. The second one is Roman. Parrot-faced.
The third one is based on the Sphynx Egyptian - human face. The fourth one is Indian and is lion-faced. This is how the trading business at that time mainly influenced the carvings. This is also not a Temple for puja, only a visiting (tourist) place Sir. Beautiful! Yes! Very good! Okay, what are they trying to depict through this carving? This one Sir? Yeah! She is shown carrying butter, Makhan, which Krishna loved very much. She is offering it to him. Okay! Yes! Beautiful! Yes! It was fun! It was nice to visit Mahabalipuram.
We began our journey at 7.00-7.15 AM today. It is 4.00 PM now, so we have spent a sizeable part of our day doing sightseeing. Now, this is what we are going to do.
We are going to Chennai now and, on the way there, we'll also visit a balloon festival. I will plan a meet-up in Chennai. And we'll end the day after that. That is my program further, so we are going to end today's episode here. Since this episode is already very long, we will shoot the Balloon Festival for another video.
Thank you so much for taking us around. Yes Sir! Nice to meet you again! So nice! Since we are about 50 KM from Chennai, it will take us 1 to 1.5 or 2 hours to reach there. And we are about 100 KM from Pondicherry. Okay, so it is bye-bye for now. Thanks for your time! Nandri! (thank you in Tamil language)
