Kanchipuram - Temple City

Kanchipuram is a temple city and it is just 60 kms away from Chennai. There are plenty of temples, one can visit in Kanchipuram. In this post, I will be explaining about how we visited almost 20 temples in kanchipuram in a single day with breaks in between.

The following temples we have visited in a single day on 13th February 2021 from 9.30AM to 7.45PM. The day 13th feb 2021 is so auspicious as it is beginning of the Tamil month Maasi (மாசி மாதம் முதல் நாள்). Almost three temples, we experienced huge crowd.

In all the temples, they allowed the mobile phones/cameras inside, but you should not take pictures within the sanctuary (Temple sanctuary). So most of my pics shows only the outside view. Hence get the blessings of god without any digital divide.

Day 1 - Forenoon - We visited 6 Temples.

Day 1 - Evening - We visited 14 Temples.

Day 2 - Morning - We visited the Shri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham
and we started for Tiruttani (just 40 kms from Kanchipuram)
