6 reviews of Ekambareswarar Temple

The best temple in India for the people and commotion

Kanchipuram is famous for its silk saris, but it is also full of temples and pilgrims who come. I had a great day, after spending 2 hours in a bus, through dust and heat, honking and even a few scares on the road ... Of all the temples, which gave us an unforgettable experience , the best was the Temple of Ekambareshvara, because that day was a holiday and when we got there it was crowded, women in their silk saris and bright colors, kids ... We had no idea. Upon entering, we saw that there are many bars of "goodies" in the courtyard of the temple itself, balloons, etc.. We were the only tourists, and people looked at us smiling, and when we brough out the camera ...

Many wanted to pose, even asked us how many rupees for the photos. This temple is the largest of Kanchi (so the locals call it), and the center has a sacred pond where people bathe and drink, seeking purification. All he is painted bright colors, kind Disney, as are characteristic of the temples of South India. Your gopura (tower feature that these temples), painted yellow-beige, is at least 60 m. High. A little further, there is a huge mango tree, representing Shiva and Kamakshi tree where they married, and where women go ask fertility, giving three times around its trunk. Luck also requested financial problems, or find a husband for their daughters ... Since then, the kindness of the people, their joy, and the commotion made the difference in this temple.
