Cultural heritage conservation in the ancient Mahabalipuram 
April 7 - April 27, 2008
Volunteer project: Mahabalipuram (or Mamallapuram, its ancient name) is one of history's intriguing enigmas. The ancient Mamallapuram, as Mahabalipuram was formerly known, was flourishing port town of the Pallava rulers of south India who chiseled in stone a fabulous "open-air museum" of sculpture under the vault of a burning sky. Apart from this, nothing is known of the place. What was the purpose behind this whole exercise, and, more important, why all the royal patronage this place enjoyed suddenly disappeared, no one actually has any answer.
The volunteers can do monuments protection work with the Government and raise awareness among the public by rally, street play in the Mahabalipuram premises. And volunteers can adopt any one of the monuments and can do cleaning, fencing and painting also.
