Mamallapuram is famous for its stone carving... I wonder why.
The novelty of every Indian tourist taking our photo wore off pretty quickly, so in the end we made use of the attention and got them to take one of us. Perhaps they're used to camera's with a built-in spirit level?
Krishna's Butter Ball. Can't remember the reason why it's called that but I'm sure it was pretty far fetched and obscure.
There's a place near Pondicherry called Auroville where people from all over the world live together in a hippy commune I mean harmony. Inside this massive golden golf ball is the world's largest crystal... of course you're only allowed to visit it if you have sincere intentions of merging with the cosmic bliss.
The picture before this one shows as close as we were allowed to the mystic golf ball so I just zoomed. Same difference.
Aside from the gift shop, this was the best reason to visit Auroville. This is a Banyan tree, it grows aerial roots from its branches which drop down and take root themselves, believe it or not but this is technically just one tree!
The 5 Rathas are 1400 years old and spent most of that time buried under sand. Pretty impressive that it's just one rock.
Not to be confused with Pride Rock.
