The six-foot rocky structures that have emerged in Mahabalipuram, 30 miles south of Madras, include an elaborately carved head of an elephant and a horse in flight. Above the elephant's head is a small square-shaped niche with a carved statue of a deity.

I think its pretty cool but in searching "legendary seven pagodas" - I see some city off the coast of India reported such a discovery in 2002.

"The six-foot rocky structures that have emerged"

Ancient?!? 7th century isn't ancient. Jericho's ancient. The Great Pyramid of Cheops, that's ancient.

My thoughts exactly. "Intricately carved?" "Bas relief?"
I've seen more detailed 'carvings' at Arches National Park.

Two granite lions placed as guardians of an ancient city proved impotent before the power of the sea. But that same force has brought them to light centuries later. The Boxing Day tsunami has revealed what archaeologists believe to be the lost ruins of an ancient city off Tamil Nadu in Southern India.
