Built in the 7th century during the reign of the Pallava king Narasimhavarman II, the Shore Temple holds immense historical significance. Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram, served as a thriving port city during the Pallava dynasty, and the Shore Temple played a crucial role in the maritime activities of that era. The temple is believed to be a part of a larger complex of seven temples, of which only the Shore Temple has withstood the test of time.
