Seidenstraße nach Kanchipuram: Ein kultureller & spiritueller Tagesausflug
Beschreibung
Kanchipurams ältester Tempel ist der beeindruckendste, nicht wegen seiner Größe, sondern wegen seiner historischen Präsenz und der Komplexität seines Mauerwerks. Kailasanatha ist ebenso ein Denkmal wie ein lebendiger Tempel und ist ruhiger als andere Tempel in der Stadt und wurde umfassend restauriert. Es ist Shiva gewidmet und wurde im 8. Jahrhundert von Pallava-König Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha) erbaut, der auch den Mamallapuram-Shore-Tempel errichtete.

Kanchipurams ältester Tempel ist der beeindruckendste, nicht wegen seiner Größe, sondern wegen seiner historischen Präsenz und der Komplexität seines Mauerwerks. Kailasanatha ist ebenso ein Denkmal wie ein lebendiger Tempel und ist ruhiger als andere Tempel in der Stadt und wurde umfassend restauriert. Es ist Shiva gewidmet und wurde im 8. Jahrhundert von Pallava-König Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha) erbaut, der auch den Mamallapuram-Shore-Tempel errichtete.
Von den fünf Shiva-Tempeln Südindiens, die mit den fünf Elementen verbunden sind, ist dieser 12 Hektar große Bezirk der Schrein der Erde. Sie treten unter dem 59 m hohen, unbemalten Südgopuram ein, dessen lebhafte Schnitzereien 1509 unter der Herrschaft von Vijayanagar gemeißelt wurden. Im Inneren führt links eine Säulenhalle in das zentrale Gelände, dem Nandi von rechts zugewandt ist. Das innere Heiligtum (nur Hindus) enthält einen Lingam aus Erde und eine Spiegelkammer, deren zentrales Shiva-Bild sich in endloser Wiederholung widerspiegelt.
Kanchipuram, 80 km südwestlich von Chennai, war im 6. bis 8. Jahrhundert die Hauptstadt der Pallava-Dynastie, als die Pallavas die großen Steinmonumente von Mamallapuram schufen. Heute ist es eine typisch hektische moderne indische Stadt. Sie ist berühmt für ihre zahlreichen wichtigen und lebendigen Tempel (und ihre bunten Feste), von denen einige aus der Zeit von Pallava, Chola oder Vijayanagar stammen. Es ist auch für seine hochwertigen Seiden-Saris bekannt, die von Tausenden von Familien in der Stadt und den umliegenden Dörfern auf Webstühlen gewebt werden. Seiden- und Sari-Läden befinden sich entlang der Gandhi Rd, südöstlich des Zentrums, obwohl ihre Waren im Allgemeinen nicht billiger sind als in Chennai-Seidengeschäften.

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.
