One skillfully  carved rock, called Arjuna’s Penance, is said to be the largest basrelief sculpture in the World.  It shows the figure of an  ascetic believed to be Arjuna doing penance to obtain a boon from Lord Siva.The Shore Temple dates back to the second half of the 7th century and has two shrines, one dedicated to Vishnu and the other to Siva.  It is now a protected monument and hence not open to worship.
