KSHITIMURTI THE SEAT OF PRITHVILINGA - KANCHEEPURAM

Kailasanathar Tirukkovil 

This is another well known Saivate Tirukkovil that is attracting a steady stream of pilgrims everyday.  It was built during the reign of Pallavas.  Credit goes to Rajasimha for his monumental contribution to art and religion.  The image of Ardhanareeswar here casts enchantment irresistable and exercises the greatest attraction.  Beautifully drawn murals adorn the alcoves around the perimeter walls.  Its sculptural excellences delight the viewers. Offering prayers here, let us move to Kamakshi Amman Koil for the eyeful darsan of the Mother installed in a very big temple.

It lies in the heart of Sivakanchi, the district head quarters town of the same name in the state of Tamil Nadu enjoying all transport facilities.

Our next visit is to Chidambaram to avail the darsan of Aakaasamurti.
