Top Attractions around kanchipuram
Ekambareswarar Temple in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, is one of the most revered Shiva temples in India and a prominent part of the Pancha Bhootha Sthalams, representing the element of earth (Prithvi). Sprawling across 25 acres, this grand temple is a magnificent example of Dravidian architecture and is steeped in mythological and historical significance. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, worshipped here as Ekambareswarar, and his consort Goddess Kamakshi. Its towering Rajagopuram, standing at 59 meters (194 feet), is among the tallest in South India. The temple's architecture features impressive pillared halls, massive courtyards, and intricately carved shrines. According to legend, Parvati performed penance under a mango tree (still present within the temple complex) to reunite with Shiva. She created a Shiva Lingam out of sand from the earth, symbolizing her devotion. Moved by her penance, Shiva appeared and accepted her, merging as Ardhanarishvara. The temple also houses a sacred mango tree believed to be over 3,500 years old, bearing fruits of four different tastes, symbolizing the four Vedas. The Ekambareswarar Temple is not just a spiritual destination but a cultural treasure that reflects devotion, legends, and architectural brilliance of ancient Tamil Nadu.
