#GaneshaRatha is a temple in #Kancheepuram district, #TamilNadu, India. It is one of ten rathas ("chariots") carved out of pink granite within the group of monuments of the Pallava Period at #Mahabalipuram, a #UNESCO-inscribed #WorldHeritageSite since 1984. The ratha is an example of monolith Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late seventh century during the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I. Initially constructed with a Shiva Linga, it is now deified with a Ganesha deity after the linga was removed.
