Seven Pagodas

The Seven Pagodas refer to the legendary group of seven ancient Hindu temples located along the coast of Mahabalipuram in India. Historically, only one of these temples, the Shore Temple, remains visible today; the others are believed to have been submerged or destroyed over centuries due to natural erosion and rising sea levels. The legends and archaeological findings suggest that these temples were once grand and significant religious sites dedicated to Hindu deities. The Seven Pagodas symbolize the region's rich cultural and spiritual heritage, and ongoing research continues to uncover insights into their historical prominence.
