    Next, visit Arjuna’s Penance, Asia’s largest bas-relief structure. Be amazed by the detailed carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. Then, see the gravity-defying Krishna’s Butterball, a massive boulder perched on a slope.

    Continue to the Shore Temple, one of the oldest stone temples in South India. Discover its fascinating history and significance as a maritime landmark.

    Throughout the tour, your guide will provide insights into the ancient sculptors and architects who carved these masterpieces out of rock.
