This pilgrimage centre is important for both Shaivites and Vaishnavites. Popularly known as "The City of Thousand Temples" is mainly consists of Siva Kanchi and Vishnu Kanchi. Kanchipuram is around 72 KM from Chennai
EKAMBARESWARA TEMPLE
 
Sri Ekambareswara is in the form of "Prithvi Lingam" hence Kanchipuram is also known as one of the Pancha Bhutha Sthalas. According to a Puranic story, Kailash Parvathy closed the eyes of Lord Shiva, while playing, bringing darkness to the entire world. Getting angry at her behaviour, Lord Shiva cursed Parvathi to become black like Kali. Unable to bear the punishment the Goddess descended on this place and did penance under a mango tree making a Lingam out of earth . Hence much significance is attached to this shrine and the mango tree, situated within the temple.
 
KAILASANATHA TEMPLE
 
This temple was built by Kind Rajasimha, the Pallava king and is known for its beautiful sculptures. The image of ardhanareeswara, seated on a bull with the feminine aspect carrying veena, is noteworthy.
