Pallavas ruled Tamilnadu from 6th century AD to 9th century AD. Buddhism and Jainism were the main religions before this period started fading away during Pallavan rule. Hinduism had a great revival during this period. Temples were built using perisheble materials such as wood, bricks in South India before stone became a preferred material during early Pallavan period. Art and Architecture were flourishing. Kanchipuram the capital of Pallavas and the port town Mamallapuram still have remains of many of these creations.
