Introducing Kanchipuram

Famous throughout India for its silk saris, the temple town of Kanchipuram (Kanchi) is also a treasure-trove of Hindu temples and art from the Pallava, Chola and Pandyan dynasties. Many travellers make a day trip here from Chennai or Mamallapuram, which isn’t a bad idea as its attraction for pilgrims and tourists has led to a culture of harassment at some temples and silk shops.
