Kailasanatha Temple at Kanchipuram near Chennai

Deities: Kailasanathar (Shiva)

This ancient temple is a beautiful specimen of Pallava architecture. It is a protected monument under the Archeological Survey of India. This is not a major piligrimage center. Puja services are offered to Shiva - Kailasanatha on a regular basis. The circumambulatory path around the sanctum, requiring visitors to climb up and down a flight of seven stairs and to crawl through narrow edifices is of great philosophical significance.

Access and Accomodation: Kanchipuram, Chennai
