Five Chariots - A Mystery | Pancha Ratha History Mahabalipuram | पंच रथ | पांडव रथ

Pancha Ratha (Five Chariots) - A Mystery | Mamallapuram | Mahabalipuram | पंच रथ | पांडव रथ | UNESCO Heritage Site | Pancha Ratha Temple | Kailasa Temple Prototype

The site is known as Pancha Rathas or Pandava Rathas as they resemble a chariot. These Pancha Rathas are an example of monolithic Indian Rock Cut Architecture.

They were carved during the reign of King Narasimha Varman. Each of these five monuments are carved over a single long stone or monolith of granite. Yes a single granite rock! A huge rock was cut out to different forms of rathas besides few animal sculptures.

The five rathas are named as Dharmaraja Ratha, Bhima Ratha, Arjuna Ratha, Draupadi Ratha and Nakula Sahadeva Ratha. These rathas are often erroneously referred as temples also. Some say it was a prototype of Kailasa Temple also.

This video shows each of these rathas in detailed style. Why it cannot be referred to as a temple and also was just chisel and hammer used to carve this temple out still remains a mystery. Hope you will like the video.
