About Five Rathas (Pancha Rathas)
The Five Rathas, also known as Pancha Rathas, are exemplary specimens of Dravidian architecture, carved during the reign of the Pallava dynasty in the 7th century. Each ratha (chariot) is dedicated to a different deity and showcases unique architectural styles. These structures are UNESCO World Heritage sites and offer insights into ancient Indian temple architecture.
