People are interested to know why Mahabalipuranne Center was chosen for a meeting between the two leaders. Considering archaeological evidence .. Mamallapuram (present-day Mahabalipuram) has been associated with China since ancient times.

Also, during the Sangam era 2000 years ago, Mamallapuram became a port town. The region had trade links with many countries, including China.
The Pallavas through the port city of Mamalapuram .. ties with China. They also sent their ambassadors to China. Chinese monk Huang Tsang In the seventh century, the Revue visited the town of Mamallapuram. To get a deeper understanding of Buddhism and to acquire the texts of that religion .. Huyan Tsang visited Kancheepuram, which is still a Buddhist center.
There is another reason why Huang Tsang came there. A prince of the Pallava dynasty .. embraced Buddhism and became a Bodhi Dharma. Bodhidharma has been in China for many years and has taught people about Buddhism. He taught martial arts to self-defense to his followers who practiced physical virtue.
