Kanchipuram or the City of Thousand Temples is one of the oldest temple towns of India. It is also renowned for the famed Kanjeevaram silk sarees. An epicentre of spiritual activities and learning since 10th century, Kanchi was ruled by several dynasties including Cholas, Pallavas and the empire of Vijayanagar, and each one imparted a distinctive architectural style to the temples and historic monuments. Despite Mughal and British invasions, Kanchipuram managed to retain the status of a leading pilgrim destination of India. Sightseeing: The towering Ekambareswar Temple holds prime importance in Kanchipuram. Spread over an area of 20 acres, the gopuram (rising tower at the entrance of the temple) stands tall at 57 metres. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has beautifully sculptured granite walls
