Kailasanathar Temple, located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, is one of the oldest and most magnificent examples of early Dravidian architecture. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple was built in the 8th century by the Pallava king Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II) and is considered a masterpiece of sandstone construction and artistic excellence. The temple stands out with its richly carved sandstone walls, monolithic pillars, and a stunning vimana (tower) over the sanctum.
