– lord siva temple visit photo coverage
Recently visited the famous Kailasanathar temple one of the oldest lord siva temple built by the Pallava kings around the 7th century at Kanchipuram. The temple has the most wonderful stone carvings of Shiva, Parvati, Vishnu, Brahma and Ganesha. Inside the temple we have a passageway that is believed to be a representation of life, with the entry as the death and exit denoting the re-birth.
It was said that King Rajaraja Chola was inspired by the architecture of Kailasanathar temple and built the Brihadeeshwar temple in Thanjavur. The Kailasanathar temple was known as the first structurally stone carved temple built by the Pallavas after their marvel at Mahabalipuram (checkout my Mahabalipuram trip photos).
Special thanks to KeyTerns – Srini who wonderfully organized this trip and excellently curated by Karthik Nachiappan, who explained the Kanchipuram’s temple and it’s history in-depth and making the trip a most enlighten experience.
