Excursión de un día a Mahabalipuram y Kanchipuram desde Chennai en automóvil privado con guía
Descripción
Puede pasar fácilmente un día completo explorando los maravillosos templos, cuevas y grabados rupestres de Kanchipuram y Mamallapuram.

Las guías oficiales del Servicio Arqueológico de la India se pueden contratar en los sitios.

Orientación del tour
De los cinco templos de Shiva del sur de la India asociados con los cinco elementos, este recinto de 12 hectáreas es el santuario de la tierra. Se ingresa debajo del gopuram sur sin pintar de 59 m de altura, cuyas animadas tallas fueron cinceladas en 1509 bajo el gobierno de Vijayanagar. En el interior, un pasillo con columnas lleva a la izquierda al complejo central, al que Nandi se enfrenta desde la derecha. El santuario interior (solo hindúes) contiene un lingam hecho de tierra y una cámara de espejo cuya imagen central de Shiva se refleja en una repetición infinita.
Visitaremos el magnífico templo del Templo Kailasanathar desde los tiempos de Pallava. Kanchipuram fue la capital del Reino medieval del sur de India de Pallavas. Los Pallavas fueron instrumentales en la transición de la arquitectura excavada en la roca a los templos de piedra. Apreciaremos estas maravillas arquitectónicas construidas en el año 600 dC.
Acurrucados juntos en el extremo sur de Mamallapuram, los Cinco Rathas fueron, sorprendentemente, tallados en grandes rocas individuales. Cada uno de estos templos del siglo VII estaba dedicado a un dios hindú y ahora lleva el nombre de uno o más de los Pandavas, los cinco héroes hermanos de la epopeya Mahabharata, o su esposa común, Draupadi. Los rathas se ocultaron en la arena hasta que fueron excavados por los británicos hace 200 años. Ratha es sánscrito para "carro", y puede referirse a la forma de los templos o a su función como vehículos para los dioses. Se piensa que originalmente no servían como lugares de culto, sino como modelos arquitectónicos.
También visitamos la Penitencia de Arjuna, un bajorrelieve de 100 pies x 45 pies donde se ha esculpido toda una obra maestra de la epopeya de Mahabharata.
La siguiente parada es en el Butterball de Krishna, una imagen curiosa de una roca en forma de bola de 5 metros de diámetro que se alza precariamente en una pendiente y desafía las leyes de gravedad de Newton.
El Shore Temple, de dos torres, que se asemeja a un magnífico puño de elegancia tallada en la roca que domina el mar, rodeado de jardines y en ruinas, simboliza las alturas de la arquitectura Pallava y las ambiciones marítimas de los reyes Pallava. Su pequeño tamaño oculta su excelente proporción y la calidad suprema de las tallas, muchas de ellas ahora erosionadas en adornos impresionistas impresionistas. Construido bajo Narasimhavarman II en el siglo VIII, es el templo de piedra independiente más antiguo e importante de Tamil Nadu.

Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram made for an excellent day trip and a fascinating introduction to the rich history and culture of Tamil Nadu. The temples and monuments were beautiful, with intricate carvings, impressive architecture, and centuries of history around every corner. The guides were outstanding and did a great job explaining the stories, symbolism, and historical significance of each site, bringing the temples to life in a way that would have been difficult to appreciate on our own. From the stunning shore temples of Mahabalipuram to the grand temple complexes of Kanchipuram, the entire experience was engaging, informative, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, and South Indian culture.

They were very resourceful and made the trip fun! I thought it would be good if I wanted to travel around with peace of mind, such as traveling alone for the first time for women in India. Maybe some buses if we can get away.
