Pallava

The Pallava are a dynasty Hindou E which dominated India of the South-east of the end of the 3rd century at the 9th century. They reigned since their capital Kânchîpuram and to the apogee of their power their empire extended on the major part of the India of the South, bordered by the grounds of the Chalukya to North, those of the Chera in Ouest and those of the Chola in the South. The period of Pallava is a time great spiritual changes in India of the South, the Bouddhisme is declining, the Jaïnisme in full growth and the movement of the Bhakti makes its appearance, while the mystics Vaishnava Alvar and Shivaite Nayanmar are fully active.

Under Pallava, the maritime trade is prosperous with the Sri Lanka and the Southeast Asia. It is one period favorable also for arts, music, painting, literature, and structures. The stone temples replace the excavated buildings, as one observes it on the site of Mahabalipuram, with his Rathas and his remarkable temple of the shore. Mahabalipuram is supposed being the place of the harbor installations of Pallava, but no archaeological excavation could confirm it. The effects of the Tsunami of December 26th, 2004 however revealed structures which are studied by the Archaeological Survey off India. Pallavas occupied in a constant war with Chalukyas of Badami, are finally eclipsed by Chola at the 8th century like major power of the area.
