| The Arjuna's Penance or Descent of the Ganges rock sculptures are one of the earliest to be created that marked the shift of dominating religion from Buddhism to Hinduism when the Pallavas took over Deccan from the Satavahanas. Most of the rock structures of Mahabalipuram, including this one, were created around 7th century AD during the rule of Narasimhavarman 1 of the Pallava Dynasty - from whose epithet Mamallan, the town got its colloquial name Mamallapuram. |
