We found almost 3/4th of the distance is on bad roads. It is not recommended to take this route, the route from Chennai to Kanchipuram would have been a better option.

The restaurant could not handle the crowd as there were lots of people came at the same time to have breakfast. We had our breakfast at Anandas after having darshan of the Perumal. The sculptor shops were open early in the morning and the huge sculptures on display seemed to speak volumes to the pilgrims. My wife did a bit of shopping for miniature Ganesha idol that is carved on both sides. We have earlier made a visit to the Chariot temples and other sightseeing places at Mahabalipuram, yet the deft fingers of the skilled sculptors has always been an incredible experience.
