Beyond Pilgrimage
- The Kanchipuram Temple Pilgrimage is a sacred journey to the "City of Thousand Temples" — Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, one of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism and one of the most important centres of South Indian spirituality and culture. Kanchipuram is home to some of the most magnificent temples in India, representing both the Shaiva and Vaishnava traditions.

The Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple, built in the 8th century by the Pallava kings, is one of the finest examples of early Dravidian architecture. The Varadaraja Perumal Temple, with its magnificent 100-pillar hall, is one of the 108 Divya Desams.
