The Cognizant guys took us sightseeing south of Chennai this afternoon. We went to a small town called Mahabalipuram. Some people describe it as the Atlantis of India as they found that there are several temples underwater just off the coast.
Evidently, during the Tsunami 2 years ago - they discovered several temples off shore. In a Tsunami, the water first draws back into the ocean away from the coast, prior to slamming the coast with the tidal wave. When the water drew back - the temples were visible.
