The Pallava kings who succeeded the Chalukya kings in parts of South India, were also patrons of arts.Mahendravarma I who ruled in the seventh century was responsible for building temples at Panamalai, Mandagapattu and Kanchipuram.The inscription at Mandagapattu mentions Mahendravarman I with numerous titles such as Vichitrachitta (curious-minded), Chitrakarapuli (tiger among artists), Chaityakari (temple builder),which show his interest in art activities.The paintings in these temples too were done at his initiative, though only fragments remain.
