The Tiger Cave is a rock-cut temple dedicated to Durga. Nine carved tiger heads surround the main door of the shrine, and the two smaller caves on the left are decorated with elephant heads. Five kilometers north of Mahabalipuram, this site, part of the temples built by the Pallavas in the 8th century, is somewhat shunned by tourists, yet it is well worth a visit. Excavations carried out in 2005 have also brought to light the Subrahmanya temple, located nearby, which is said to be even older.

This site is sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Durga carved into the rock. Reigns a silence and one recueuillement. These sculptures are huge and the Indians come to walk Sunday with their picnic and are very respectful places.
