A tsunami warning system (TWS) is used to detect tsunamis in advance and issue warnings to prevent loss of life and damage.

Pancha, or Five Rathas (also known as Pandava Rathas) are a series of monuments at Mahabalipuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Dating from the late 7th century, it is attributed to the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I (630–680 AD) of the Pallava Kingdom. Photo shows the Arjuna Ratha; a portion fo the Bhima Ratha (to the left) and Draupadi Ratha, partially hidden can also be seen. The structures are without any precedence in Indian temple architecture and are completely carved out of a single rock each. They withstood the ravages of the Tsunamis of the 13th Century and 2004. They however display the effects of wind and sand erosion. These are not temples, as they are unfinished, and were never consecrated. They are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site at Mahabalipuram.
