==Summary==

Description
English: I took this shot at noon at Rockfort Temple, Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, India. The Upper cave temple was built by King Mahendravarman Pallava I during 600-630CE. The front facade of the south facing cave temple is supported by four pillars (eight faced) and two pilasters. The pillars are cubical at top and bottom whereas octagonal in the middle. The hall has an east facing shrine. The entrance of the shrine has two bas-relief images of Dwarapalas. Both the dwarapalas hold clubs.There is no deity inside the shrine. It is believed that the shrine would have had Shiv Linga and Parvati originally.The Sanskrit inscription belongs to Mahendravarman I and later Tamil Inscription are inscribed at Pillars.
