Kanchipuram, City of Thousand Temples

Kanchipuram (State: Tamil Nadu) is located at a distance of 75 kms from Chennai. This city was the capital of the rulers of Cholas and Pallava between the 6th and 8th centuries had over a thousand temples. But now only hundred are still around and all of them are worth a visit.

Apart from its temples, this small town is also famous for best silk and cotton sarees woven from pure mulberry silk in the country.

Some of the temples that I have seen here are:

• Kailasanath Temple
• Varadaraja Perumal Temple
• Vaikunta Perumal Temple
• Ekambareswarar Temple
• Kamakshi Amman Temple

We shall explore this place in more details.
