Rejseplan
Kanchipuram var hovedstaden i det middelalderlige sydlige indiske kongerige Pallavas. Pallavas var medvirkende til overgangen fra rock-cut arkitektur til sten templer. Vi besøger Kailasanathar-tempelet i Pallava-dynastiet for at værdsætte disse arkitektoniske vidundere bygget i det 7. århundrede af Pallava King Rajasimha kendt som Narasimhavarman II. Kanchi Kailasanathar templet er berømt for sin storslåede Vimana, gopuram over Sanctum Sanctorum. Det taler mængder af arkitektonisk skønhed, der blomstrede i regeringen af Pallava King.
Ekambareswarar Temple er en af de berømte hinduistiske templer dedikeret til Lord Shiva. Det er en af de fem store Shiva-templer eller Pancha Bootha Sthalams (hver repræsenterer et naturligt element), der repræsenterer elementet - Jorden. De øvrige fire templer i denne kategori er Thiruvanaikaval Jambukeswara (vand), Chidambaram Natarajar (ether), Thiruvannamalai Arunachaleswara (ild) og Kalahasti Nathar (vind).
Næste i vores dagsorden er at møde de legendariske Silk Saree Weavers of Kanchipuram. Kanchipuram er kendt for sine storslåede Silk Sarees. Silke Sarees er et kulturelt ikon i Sydindien. Langt fra 6-9 meter bæres disse Sarees af kvinder i gunstige lejligheder som et bryllup eller en fødselsdag. Der er mere end 5000 familier, der beskæftiger sig med silkevævning. Sareerne er vævet af ren morbær silketråd. Den traditionelle væv er en utrolig maskine, der anvendes af silkevævene, til at magisk omdanne silketrådene til en smuk Kanchipuram Silk Saree. Vi vil besøge en sådan Weaver og det bliver en mindeværdig oplevelse. Det vil være en fascinerende oplevelse at se, hvordan sareerne væves af ren morbær silketråd.

Kannan was truly a pleasure to tour with. He was very accommodating to my tour, helped me capture the trip exactly as I envisioned, and so much more enjoyment than I expected to begin with. A truly kind person who had such passion for the work he does. The next time I tour, I will ask to tour with Kannan again specifically.
Today we visited Kailasanadhar Temple Ekambareeswar Temple Kanchi Kudil - a century old house Single Stone chains in a Vishnu Temple With tour guide Mr. Jainath the visit was interesting, many facts about Indian cultures, and the delicious lunch at the end.
Cannan was an informative, engaging tour guide. We visited two incredible temples and had a delicious South Indian vegetarian lunch. I’d highly recommend booking this excursion!
The best thing I enjoyed from this tour was learning about the south indian history and cultures related to temples. As a foreigner, I always had a doubt of whether I am being not aporopriate or not following the rules or about temple manners. All of my curiosity had been solved today. Thank you Kannan
My sister and I had such a wonderful time with Kannan, whose knowledge and storytelling instantly captivated us . We not only explored the temples and silk factories, we got to learn the historical and spiritual significance of the city itself. If you wish to take some magnificent photos, explore and make memories in Kanchipuram, look no further, Kannan is your guide.
It was a very interesting trip. Harri picked us up from our hotel right on time, and on the way to Kanchipuram we stopped for a quick lunch. The temple visits were fascinating and, luckily, not too crowded. The car rides between the different places were also memorable, we had some great conversations along the way. The silk weaving process at the factory was interesting, although unfortunately quite short. It quickly led into a showroom where high-quality silk saris were presented for sale.
It was an excellent tour, interacting with Harish was enjoyable. He was well versed with subject and knowledgeable. Overall his performance was excellent, I wish him success in his present career.
"I booked a Kanchipuram tour for my parents, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment they started, Mr Hareesh Ramachandran took exceptional care of them. They were deeply impressed by his/her profound knowledge of the temple architecture and the city's history. Beyond just the facts, it was the patience and genuine care shown toward them as senior travelers that made this trip truly special. If you want a guide who is both an expert and a true professional, look no further. Highly recommended!"
We went to Kanjepuram on the 25 th December and our tour guide was Kannan. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail to us. We went with children and he was very good with them which made us feel comfortable. We also went to a weaving place to see how Kanjipuysarees are weaved and ended up buying some sarees. Good experience, He also took us to Vivekananda house which was extra. We were all fascinated by swami Vivekananda’s history and the museum. I think it is a must to see in Chennai. Overall a very good and pleasant experience. Thanks to Kannan and five senses tours. Well done. Highly recommend this private tour! Sakuntala
Fantastic day trips with Kannan! His passion and knowledge made the trip a great learning experience and enjoyable!! Transportation and access to clean toilets and food was well planned ahead of time.
