How To Reach Olakkannesvara Temple
Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India
The Olakkannesvara Temple (often mistakenly called the "Old Lighthouse") is a structural temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, built in the early 8th century by the Pallava King Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II) using cut grey granite blocks; its name means "one who has a third eye (flame eye)," referring to Lord Shiva; it is perched dramatically atop the rock hill, overlooking the Mahishasuramardini Cave below; its square plan, two-tiered superstructure, and prominent location link it directly to the architectural style of the Shore Temple complex, though it has lost its original Vimana roof structure.
