Beach Road Mahabalipuram

A view from Issac's old shop.
The shop was decorated with jasmin.Unfortunately it got destroyed in 2003 and is no more.
Stone carving and masonry is very much alive in Mahabalipuram, and each shop shows off its artisans' work, from small soapstone paperweights to massive marble shrines of Hindu gods.
it is impossible not to notice the constant chipping of stonemason's tools on rocks of all sizes.
