The City of Thousand Temples, Kanchipuram is one of
the oldest temple towns of India. Revered as one of India’s seven holy
cities, Kanchipuram has a great past. It was ruled by several powerful
dynasties like Cholas, Pallavas and the empire of Vijayanagar. Each one
of them imparted a unique architectural style to the temples and
significant monuments.
The famous hand-woven silk fabrics and saris of Kanchipuram are woven by skilled weavers who use the supreme quality silk and pure gold thread. With great availability of varied quality of silk, Kanchipuram is also known as Silk City. Highly venerated Sankaracharya ‘Math’ is located at Kanchipuram.
