Via della Seta per Kanchipuram: Una gita di un giorno culturale e spirituale
Descrizione
Il tempio più antico di Kanchipuram è il più imponente, non per le sue dimensioni ma per il suo peso di presenza storica e la complessità delle sue opere in pietra. Tanto monumento quanto tempio vivente, Kailasanatha è più tranquillo degli altri templi della città ed è stato pesantemente restaurato. Dedicato a Shiva, fu costruito nell'ottavo secolo dal re di Pallava Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), che creò anche il Tempio della riva di Mamallapuram.

Il tempio più antico di Kanchipuram è il più imponente, non per le sue dimensioni ma per il suo peso di presenza storica e la complessità delle sue opere in pietra. Tanto monumento quanto tempio vivente, Kailasanatha è più tranquillo degli altri templi della città ed è stato pesantemente restaurato. Dedicato a Shiva, fu costruito nell'ottavo secolo dal re di Pallava Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), che creò anche il Tempio della riva di Mamallapuram.
Dei cinque templi di Shiva in India del sud associati ai cinque elementi, questo recinto di 12 ettari è il santuario della terra. Si entra sotto il gopuram meridionale, non dipinto, alto 59 m, le cui vivaci incisioni sono state cesellate nel 1509 sotto il dominio Vijayanagar. All'interno, una sala a colonne conduce a sinistra nel complesso centrale, che Nandi affronta da destra. Il sanctum interno (solo indù) contiene un lingam fatto di terra e una camera a specchio la cui immagine centrale di Shiva si riflette in una ripetizione infinita.
Kanchipuram, 80 km a sud ovest di Chennai, fu la capitale della dinastia Pallava durante il VI-VIII secolo, quando i Pallavas crearono i grandi monumenti in pietra di Mamallapuram. Oggi una città indiana tipicamente moderna e frenetica, è famosa per i suoi numerosi e importanti templi (e le loro feste colorate), alcuni dei quali risalenti all'epoca di Pallava, Chola o Vijayanagar. È noto anche per i suoi sari di seta di alta qualità, tessuti a mano da migliaia di famiglie nella città e nei villaggi vicini. Negozi di seta e sari sono disposti lungo Gandhi Rd, a sud-est del centro, anche se le loro merci non sono generalmente meno costose che nei negozi di seta di Chennai.

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.
