Description of the Pilgrims –
One of the seven sacred cities of India, Kanchipuram is appropriately called the golden city of thousand temples. 71 km from Chennai, the place served as the capital of the Pallavas, the powerful dynasty of south India. A Kanchipuram pilgrimage travel is always high on agenda for a Hindu devotee. Undertake a journey to one of top travel destinations in India with Best Indian Travel. Presently the city is the district head quarters for the Chengalpattu district. The place houses over 108 temples dedicated to Shiva and 18 to Vishnu apart from scores of other temples, mosques and churches. The temples at Kanchipuram bear testimony to the pinnacle reached by the Pallava architecture. The Cholas and the Vijayanagar rulers also contributed to the majesty of the temple architecture. It was also a great center of learning during the ancient and medieval times. The place was associated with the great Hindu revivalist Adi Sankaracharya, and the great medieval Saiva Saint Appar. The Kanchi Kamakotti Peetam, one of the Acharya Peetas of Sri Adi Sankaracharya, is situated here. The remains of some of the Buddhist Stupas are also testimony that Buddhism spread here.
In modern times, Kanchipuram, apart from its temples, is well-known all over the world also for its thriving handloom industry. The city is also known as silk city since the main livelihood of the people living in and around comes from weaving silk sarees.
