The remaining places of heritage are also wonderful

to watch and the most interesting aspect to note is

the manner in which these monuments were made

a few hundred years ago without the availability of

machines. One of the important aspects that I wish

to highlight is the way the huge rocks were broken

down for making structures. Lines were made on

the surface and holes were drilled on the rock

.Then wooden pieces were inserted into the holes

and hot water was poured into those holes for 6

months. The wood inside the holes would gradually

expand and the stone would break as required.

One must definitely make a visit to this beautiful

place along the seashore which has a piece of

splendor from our heritage and has stood the test

of time.
