Kanchipuram was the capital of the medieval South Indian Kingdom of Pallavas. The Pallavas were instrumental in the transition from rock-cut architecture to stone temples. We visit Kailasanathar temple of Pallava dynasty to appreciate these architectural wonders built in the 7th century by by Pallava king Rajasimha known as Narasimhavarman II. The Kanchi Kailasanathar temple is famous for its magnificent Vimana, the gopuram over the Sanctum Sanctorum. It speaks volumes of architectural beauty that flourished in the reign of Pallava King.

KanchipuramGo behind the scene to see how a Kancheepuram saree is made. Begin at a silk dyeing unit, where the dyers work through their day and you see how colour is set into the silk yarn before it ever reaches a loom. Then walk to a weaving family’s home, where the loom sits in the house itself. Watch the weaver work pure mulberry silk and gold zari into a saree, and see how the korvai technique joins the body and the border. Ask about the craft, the patterns and what it means to weave in the town whose silk carries a Geographical Indication tag. You visit during real working hours, unscripted, and the dyers and weavers decide what to show you. They are paid directly by 5 Senses Tours, built into your tour price
