    Tour Orientation

  2. Ekambareswarar Temple

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Ekambareswarar Temple, located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, is one of the oldest and most revered Shiva temples in India. Dedicated to Lord Shiva as Ekambaranathar, it features stunning Dravidian architecture, with a towering gopuram (gateway) and intricate sculptures. The temple is renowned for its sacred mango tree, believed to be over 3,500 years old, and it holds great significance in Shaivite worship. It's a key pilgrimage site, attracting devotees and tourists alike.

  3. Oprirea 3

    45 min

    Kailasanathar Temple, located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, is one of the earliest examples of Dravidian architecture, dating back to the 8th century. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple is notable for its stunning intricate carvings and serene ambiance. The temple complex features a series of small shrines, a unique sandstone structure, and beautiful sculptures depicting various deities and mythological scenes. It is often praised for its architectural brilliance and is a significant pilgrimage site for Shaivite worshippers.

  4. Pancha Rathas

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Huddled together at the southern end of Mamallapuram, the Five Rathas were, astonishingly, all carved from single large rocks. Each of these fine 7th-century temples was dedicated to a Hindu god and is now named after one or more of the Pandavas, the five hero-brothers of the epic Mahabharata, or their common wife, Draupadi. The rathas were hidden in the sand until excavated by the British 200 years ago.

    Ratha is Sanskrit for 'chariot', and may refer to the temples' form or to their function as vehicles for the gods. It's thought they didn't originally serve as places of worship, but as architectural models.

  5. Arjuna's Penance

    30 min Intrarea inclusă

    We also visit Arjuna’s Penance, a 100 feet x 45 feet bas relief where an entire masterpiece from the Mahabharata epic has been carved.

  6. Krishna's Butter Ball

    30 min Intrarea inclusă

    The next halt is at Krishna’s Butterball, a curious sight of a 5 meters diameter ball shaped boulder which is perched precariously on a slope and defies Newton’s laws of gravity!

  7. Shore Temple

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Standing like a magnificent fist of rock-cut elegance overlooking the sea, surrounded by gardens and ruined courts, the two-towered Shore Temple symbolises the heights of Pallava architecture and the maritime ambitions of the Pallava kings. Its small size belies its excellent proportion and the supreme quality of the carvings, many now eroded into vaguely Impressionist embellishments. Built under Narasimhavarman II in the 8th century, it's the earliest significant free-standing stone temple in Tamil Nadu.
