An incomparable architectural showpiece of Mahabalipuram!
The Descent of the Ganges, known locally as Arjuna's Penance at Mahabalipuram near Chennai in the state of Tamilnadu is a ginormous open-air bas-relief carved out of pink granite.

It measures 15 meters in height and 30 meters in width and constitutes more than a hundred life-size figures of various deities, birds, and wild animals including a family of elephants and monkeys.
