Fullday sightseeing tour of Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram
Kanchipuram - known as the
Golden City of a Thousand Temples, is one of the oldest towns in India. It
is famous for both its temples, many of them remarkably well preserved and
for its hand-woven silks. Kanchipuram is one of the seven sacred cities of
India and it is the only one associated with both Shiva and Vishnu. Visit
Ekambareshwar Temple, Kailashnath Temple, Kamakshi Temple, the
Vaikunthaperumal Temple, all built in the 7th and 8th centuries. With a
weaving tradition dating back to the Pallava era (when silk was the royal
cloth), Kanchipuram is justly famous for its particularly fine silk saris,
embellished with stunning patterns. Visit the local homes of the weavers and
watch them create magic out of silk thread into saris.

for temple building. Visit the seven pagoda-style shore temples, lashed by
the waves of the sea and the seven rathas or temple chariots, a group of
monolithic monuments & animal figures carved out of solid rock, the
earliest known examples of Dravidian architecture. They were constructed in
