    Kanchipuram was the capital of the medieval South Indian Kingdom of Pallavas. The Pallavas were instrumental in the transition from rock-cut architecture to stone temples. We visit Kailasanathar temple of Pallava dynasty to appreciate these architectural wonders built in the 7th century by by Pallava king Rajasimha known as Narasimhavarman II. The Kanchi Kailasanathar temple is famous for its magnificent Vimana, the gopuram over the Sanctum Sanctorum. It speaks volumes of architectural beauty that flourished in the reign of Pallava King.

    Next in our agenda is to meet the legendary Silk Saree Weavers of Kanchipuram. Kanchipuram is renowned for its magnificent Silk Sarees. Silk Sarees are a cultural icon in South India. Ranging in length from 6-9 yards, these Sarees are worn by women during auspicious occasions like a wedding or a birthday. There are more than 5000 families who are into the business of silk weaving. The sarees are weaved from pure mulberry silk thread. The traditional loom is an incredible machine used by the silk weavers to magically convert the silk threads into a beautiful Kanchipuram Silk Saree.

We had a great trip , Nivi was so informative and the two Hindu temples were such an eye opener . Our lunch was a South Indian extravaganza and even the drive to and from Chennai was a real experience with all the traffic . Silk making is so intricate . Best trip Anne

A first-rate day trip to Kanchipiram from Chennai. Our guide was Hareesh Ramachandran who, as well as being very knowledeable about the temples was also extremely personable and it was a pleasure to spend a day with him. We visited 4 temples that we could get inside: we hadn't previously realised that they were quite so ancient. We also visited a traditional Kanchipuram house - the Kanchi Kudil - to see the interlocking terracotta roof tiles close up. We had indicated whilst booking that we were - as 2 elderly males - not interested in the silk weaving / sari shopping part of the day trip and so this was deleted from the itinerary. We went to a hotel outside Kanchipuram for lunch and as newbie visitors to South Indian food, found some new dishes to enjoy. Highly recommended.
