These 7th century shrines were carved during the reign of King Mamalla (Narasimhavarman I, c. 630 - 670), after whom the site is named. Each shrine is a monolith, carved whole from an outcropping of rock. The shrines are unfinished, and so were never consecrated or used for worship.
The view in this photo is from the northwest. In the foreground is a carved lion. Behind the lion, from left to right in the photo, are the Draupadi, Arjuna, and Bhima Rathas (Dharmaraja Ratha is hidden in this photo behind the other structures). To the right is the Nakula Sahadeva Ratha.
