The following are the photographs of Temple & Towers of
Kancheepuram. Kancheepuram is known as a Temple Town where you'll find scores of
temples in every nook and corner of the city. It is dated back to Pallava
Kingdom whose Capital city was Kancheepuram. (This town has two most vital sects
of Brahmins, viz. Srivaishnavas - the followers of Visishtathvaitham and
Shivaites - the followers of Dvaitam.) Even today, these two sects
dominantly display their faith with traditional hymes.
These photographs shows only the Vimanam, Temple Gopuram and its
intricate craftsmanship of the yester years. All the Srivaishnava Temples are of
very rich in sculptures, divine in nature and everlasting stone carvings. These
photographs are a treasure I obtained from Sri. N. Raghunathan, IAS.
I am thankful to Mr. N. Raghunathan, IAS (of Navalpakkam Patrchariar)
for providing the above rarer than rarest photographs to share with general public.
It is a treasure indeed to have these photographs in one's desktop!
