One of the famous temple towns in the country is Kanchipuram
which is located at a distance of just 75
kms from Chennai. Well connected by road
and rail from Chennai, the Kanchipuram tour
package is one of the most popular pilgrim
tour packages that you could come across.
Kanchipuram is the significant in that it
is the seat of Shankaracharya. The temples
of Kanchipuram are considered very holy
and have a lot of mythology surrounding
it. These temples are also known for its
typical architecture which is the style
of the Vijayanagara Empire. There are hundreds
of temples in and around Kanchipuram and
it would be impossible to cover each and
every one of them in one package tour. Some
of the prominent temples that are covered
in a Chennai Kanchipuam tour are, Sri Ekambareswara
Temple, Sri Kailasanathar Temple, Sri Vardaraja
Perumal Temple, Sri Kamakshiamman Temple,
Sri Ulagalandar Temple, Sri Kacchapaeswarar
Temple and Jain Temples at Tirupparuthikkundram.
Besides temples, the Chennai Kanchipuram
tour also includes shopping destinations
particularly for the traditional Kanchipuram
silk saris. The silk and cotton saris are
hand woven and use natural dyes with a technique
that has been passed from generations. The
Kanchipuram tour packages include good travel
and stay facilities and hence are very popular
and convenient. The glory of Kanchipuram
can be best understood through a Kanchipuram
tour package from Chennai.
