Kancipuram temples

India - Holy places

Located 70km southwest of Chennai, Kanchipuram is known as the “Golden City of Temples.” It is considered one of the seven main sacred cities of India. It has over one hundred temples now, but at one time it is said to have had about one thousand. Kanchipuram is believed to give eternal happiness to one who goes there. It is said that “Ka” (Brahma) “anchi” (worshiped) Lord Vishnu at this place and that is why the city was given the name Kanchipuram. Puram means “city.” Kanchipuram is 71km (45 miles) southwest of Chennai on the Vegavati River, and 64km west of Mamallapuram. While Kanchipuram has some outstanding temples, the town itself is not so interesting. Most people just see the temples here in a day and leave.

Ekambareswarar Temple
The temple is the largest temple in the town of Kanchipuram and is located in the northern part of the town. The temple gopuram (gateway tower) is 59m tall, which is one the tallest gopurams in India. It is dedicated to Shiva.

Kailasanathar Temple
Temple is the oldest Pallava temple still in existence and is declared an archeological monument by Archaeological Survey of India. The temple is architecturally considered splendid and its plan is peculiar in having a series of cells with sculptures within.

Kamakshi Amman Temple
The goddess is depicted in the form of an yantra. Chakra orpeetam (basement) is where the deity placed. But in this temple, the yantra is placed in front of the deity. Adi Sankara is closely associated with this temple and believed to have established the Kanchi matha after this temple. The mutt's official history states that it was founded by Adi Sankara of Kaladi, and that His Holiness Jayendra Saraswati Swami is the current pontiff - The 69th head in succession, tracing its history back to the 5th century BCE.

Varadharaja Perumal Temple
Varadharaja Perumal Temple was originally built by the Cholas in 1053. It is an ancient temple and one of the 108 divyadesams, the holy abodes of Vishnu. It is located in part of Kanchipuram called the Vishnu Kanchi that is a home for a lot of famous Vishnu temples, including this one. Varadharaja Perumal Temple is a huge one on a 23-acre (93,000 m2) complex and shows the architectural skills of ancient vishwakarma sthapathis in temple. Another significant thing about the temple are beautiful carved lizards and platted with gold, over the sanctum.

Vaikunda Perumal Temple
The place is the birthplace of the alwar saint, Poigai Alvar. The central shrine has tiers of 3 shrines, one over the other, with Vishnu depicted in each of them. Theprakaram (corridors round the sanctum) has series of sculptures depicting the Pallava rule and conquer.
