My illustration - (Mahabalipuram Temple - Chennai).

The Shore Temple (built-in 700–728 AD) is so named because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal. It is located near Chennai in Tamil Nadu. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD. it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It is one of the oldest structural (versus rock-cut) stone temples of South India. I decided to capture this beautiful architecture with light and shadow techniques.
