Ganesha Ratha is a temple on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of ten rathas, i.e. chariots, carved out of pink granite within the group of monuments of the Pallava Period at Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO-inscribed World Heritage Site since 1984. The ratha is an example of monolith Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late seventh century. Initially constructed with a Shiva Linga, it is now deified with a Ganesha deity after the linga was removed
