I don't get it. The photo was taken by "a friend" in 2001, the earthquake happened in 2004. -- user:zanimum
[edit] Unrelated external link in page
I cannot understand the relation of this external link "http://www.pariharam.com For Temples around Mahabalipuram" in the Mahabalipuram page. If it is really related, please post your comments before adding it in the page.--bkris 17:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Mamallapuram is the correct name and not Mahabalipuram. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamallapuram. Nowadays only it is called Mahabalipuram. If you have any doubt ask any tamil expert.
[edit] Question
Does anyone know if Mahabalipuram was known about Before the tsunami? The article says it was swallowed by the sea a few hundred years ago....wouldn't there be some kind of record in either Indian History or maybe even from Colonial History depending on when it vanished....
- It's been known about for 2,000 years. The tsunami just exposed a few parts of a possible temple. The area has been a staple of tourism in South India for over a century and for pilrimage for two millennia. Interlingua talk 03:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
