Sidenvägen till Kanchipuram: En kulturell & andlig dagsutflykt
Beskrivning
Kanchipurams äldsta tempel är dess mest imponerande, inte för sin storlek utan för dess vikt av historisk närvaro och invecklingen av sin stenverk. Så mycket monument som levande tempel, är Kailasanatha tystare än andra tempel i stan, och har varit tungt återställd. Dedikerad till Shiva, byggdes det på 8-talet av Pallava kung Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), som också skapade Mamallapurams Shore Temple.

Kanchipurams äldsta tempel är dess mest imponerande, inte för sin storlek utan för dess vikt av historisk närvaro och invecklingen av sin stenverk. Så mycket monument som levande tempel, är Kailasanatha tystare än andra tempel i stan, och har varit tungt återställd. Dedikerad till Shiva, byggdes det på 8-talet av Pallava kung Narasimhavarman II (Rajasimha), som också skapade Mamallapurams Shore Temple.
Av Sydindias fem Shiva-tempel i samband med de fem elementen är denna 12 hektar stora del av jordens helgedom. Du kommer in under den 59m höga, omärkta södra gopuramen, vars livliga sniderier var mejlade i 1509 under Vijayanagar-regeln. Inuti leder en kolonnad hall till vänster in i den centrala föreningen, som Nandi möter från höger. Det inre sanktumet (endast hinduer) innehåller en lingam av jord och en spegelkammare vars centrala Shiva-bild återspeglas i oändlig upprepning.
Kanchipuram, 80 km sydväst om Chennai, var huvudstad i Pallava-dynastin under 6 till 8 århundraden, då pallaverna skapade de stora stenmonumenten i Mamallapuram. Idag är det en typisk hektisk modern indisk stad, den är känd för sina många viktiga och levande tempel (och deras färgglada festivaler), några från Pallava, Chola eller Vijayanagar tider. Det är också känt för sin högkvalitativa silkesaris, vävda på vävstolar av tusentals familjer i staden och närliggande byar. Silke- och sariaffärer sträcker sig längs Gandhi Rd, sydost om centrum, men deras varor är i allmänhet inte billigare än vid Chennai-silkesaffärer.

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.
