The Five Chariots of Mahabalipuram
Pancha rathas aka Pandava Rathas or Five chariots is a monument complex located at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. These five Rathas are the perfect examples of the evolution of Dravidian style architecture. The Rathas have an association to the great epic Mahabharata, which describes the heroes of Mahabharata with their wife Draupadi which is termed as pancha pandava rathas. The five rathas are Draupadi’s Ratha, Arjuna’s Rath, Nakul – Sahadev’s Rath, Bhima Rath and Dharamraja Yudhistar’s Rath.
