Kanchipuram Temples & Silk Weaving Day Trip
Kanchipuram was the Pallava capital, and its temples are the earliest large stone structures in the south. Kailasanathar, built around 700 CE, has a circuit of shrines and a sand-stone finish that has survived fourteen centuries. Ekambareswarar is vast and has a 3,500-year-old mango tree. The afternoon is at a weavers’ cooperative to see how Kanchipuram silk is woven — the same town gives the saree its name.
