Silkevej til Kanchipuram: En kulturel og åndelig dagstur
Beskrivelse
Kanchipurams ældste tempel er det mest imponerende, ikke for dets størrelse, men for dets vægt af historisk tilstedeværelse og fornemmelsen af dets stenværk. Så meget monument som levende tempel, er Kailasanatha roligere end andre templer i byen, og er blevet stærkt restaureret. Dedikeret til Shiva, blev det bygget i det 8. århundrede af Pallava konge Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), der også skabte Mamallapurams Shore Temple.

Kanchipurams ældste tempel er det mest imponerende, ikke for dets størrelse, men for dets vægt af historisk tilstedeværelse og fornemmelsen af dets stenværk. Så meget monument som levende tempel, er Kailasanatha roligere end andre templer i byen, og er blevet stærkt restaureret. Dedikeret til Shiva, blev det bygget i det 8. århundrede af Pallava konge Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), der også skabte Mamallapurams Shore Temple.
Af Sydindiens fem Shiva-templer, der er forbundet med de fem elementer, er dette 12 ha hektar jordens helligdom. Du kommer ind under den 59m høje, umalvede sydgopuram, hvis livlige udskæringer blev mejlet i 1509 under Vijayanagar-reglen. Indvendigt fører en kolonnehal ind til den centrale forbindelse, som Nandi vender fra højre. Den indre helligdom (kun hinduer) indeholder et lingam lavet af jord og et spejlkammer, hvis centrale Shiva billede afspejles i endeløs gentagelse.
Kanchipuram, 80 km sydvest for Chennai, var hovedstad i Pallava-dynastiet i 6. til 8. århundrede, da Pallavas skabte de store stenmonumenter i Mamallapuram. I dag er en typisk hektisk moderne indisk by, den berømt for sine mange vigtige og levende tempel (og deres farverige festivaler), nogle der stammer fra Pallava, Chola eller Vijayanagar tider. Det er også kendt for sin højkvalitets silkesaris, vævet i hånden af tusindvis af familier i byen og de nærliggende landsbyer. Silke og sari butikker er spændt langs Gandhi Rd, sydøst for centrum, selvom deres varer generelt ikke er billigere end hos Chennai silkebutikker.

We had a fantastic tour of Kanchipuram starting from Chennai. Tour guide Rajesh did great job explaining the Temple history and mythology. Visited Kanchi Kamakshi temple and Varadaraja Parimal/Lakshmi Narasimha temple ( massive construction with several deities ). Had private pujas n were very satisfied. The other two temples including Kailasanatar and Ekambaranathar temples are beautiful and auspicious as well. Had a great day. After decent lunch visited Silk weavers co-op and were very impressed that their Art of weaving continues on within families. We had purchased Fantastic silk saris with the wholesaler store, very much enjoyed. Worth doing the day tour for those interested in Art/ Archeology and history as well. Heading to Mahablipuram.

A nice private tour day trip visiting 4 temples, guide explained along the way. Visited kanchi sari where they hand weave silk sari. They do try to sell you some at the end but easy to say no. Nice morning tea stop and lunch stop. Guide Rajesh was knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. Accommodating to limited mobility. Great driver. Good pre-trip planning communications.
