Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India, we'd asked you dear readers, to send us photographs of Mamallapuram Shore Temple, the venue for the international summit between India and China.

Rediff reader Yash Kumar, 54 from Lucknow tells us why he fell in love with the temple:

"When you visit the temple, you feel like a part of the sea comes to the temple to pay its tribute.

"The temple stands majestically near the shore giving ashirwad to Sea God."
