About the Pallava cities
The Pallava dynasty (275 CE to 897 CE) rose to prominence with the downfall of the Satavahana rule. Like all early Tamil kingdoms, Pallavas too were thalassocratic and there is enough evidence of maritime activity with the Chinese, Roman and Greek. The Tamil saint poet Thirumangai Alvar has described Mahabalipuram as Thirukadalmallai, a sea mountain ‘where the ships rode at anchor bent to the point of breaking laden as they were with wealth, big trunked elephants and gems of nine varieties in heaps’. The Chinese traveler Huien Tsang visited Kanchipuram, the capital during the Pallava reign and glorified it in his travelogue.
Sparks of Travel
The Dance precedes
the Forms of the Universe.
The Dance exists… always
as Breath, as Light;
And, only a quest for Rhythm
will give you: your two feet.
Designed to unveil the periphery that covers the sacred heart space; this experience revolves around sparsa, meaning touch.
