Recreational cum Educational visit to Mamallapuram
The students of Grade 12 went on a recreational cum educational visit to mamallapuram on October 18, 2023. They were accompanied by the history teacher, Mr Selva Kumar, who gave them deeper insights into the historical significance of the temples and monuments at mamallapuram. The day began by visiting Salavankuppam. Earlier known as Thiruvizhchil, the town was renamed as “Saluvankuppam” during Vijayanagar period after the Saluva king Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya.
The Murugan Temple at Saluvankuppam, is believed by archaeologists to have been submerged in a Tsunami in the 13th century and unearthed in 2005. It consists of two layers: a brick temple constructed during the Sangam period (the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE) and a granite Pallava temple dating from the 8th century CE and constructed on top of the brick shrine making it the oldest temple in India.
The students were acquainted with the three architectural styles of the Pallava rulers – Stage I belonging to 6th & 7th centuries of Rock cut style, Stage 2 of Monolith structures belonging to 7th century and the 3rd stage belonging to Structural temple style belonging to 8th century.
They also visited other temples such as Atiranachanda Cave Temple, Tiger cave , Krishna Mandapa, Arjuna penance, Ganesha Ratha, Krishna’s butter ball, Mahishasuramardini cave temple, Raya gopuram, Varaha cave temple & Seashore temple.
Unlike many visitors who just visit and marvel at the beauty of mamallapuram, the students could appreciate India’s rich culture that dates back to so many centuries ago in history.
