Résumé

Heritage and landscape development may take place within the heritage assemble procedure. The study presents a case of Stone heritage, characterized by an important intangible Vedic chanting heritage which again linked to the seashore forest and Pallava temple architecture. The purpose is to search diverse physiognomies of what opportunity exists in natural context and its playing role with the built heritage and eco-tourism. The methodology includes an extensive literature review of previous texts and collecting key factors out of those literary and pictorial data for historical evidence proved analysis. The results developed from a scientific approach over such case where ethnology, ancient technology and architectural style might have lost its authenticity and integrity for robust deforestation of associated garden heritage over different courses of time just because of the absence of boundary and buffer zone concept. It revealed three major opportunities for future sustainable accomplishment in this historic site: significance of effective network comprising authorities and stakeholders, over excessive tourism can also be regarded as curse for local landscape because of rapid urbanization and finally ecological bounties, recapture of areas and aggregation need a strong legitimation to justify buffer zone and site boundary from all possible direction.
