CasualWalker’s Rating for Raya Gopuram Mahabalipuram / Mamallapuram :

8.9 – Great / Excellent

Raya Gopuram is the most effective pillar that is half-constructed in the premises of Meenakshi Temple. Despite being half-completed gopuram, it’s far carved beautifully. It surrounds Meenakshi Temple from one side, the appearance of the temple turns into appealing because of its specific creation. Raya Gopuram is a completely unique architectural characteristic of Meenakshi Temple.
