Mamallapuram Lighthouse

Mamallapuram Lighthouse at Mahabalipuram offers panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal coastline and the UNESCO World Heritage temple monuments from its viewing platform. Located on a rocky promontory above the town, the lighthouse has been an important navigation aid for ships along the Coromandel Coast. The views from the lighthouse encompass the Shore Temple, the Five Rathas, the beach, and the vast expanse of the ocean. It is a popular spot for photography, particularly at sunrise and sunset when the ancient monuments and the sea light create spectacular compositions.
