After breakfast, full day excursion to Mahabalipuram & Kanchipuram.
Mahabalipuram - a quite seaside resort with a unique and glorious 7th century Shore Temple and some of the most beautiful rock-cut caves in the world. Visit the Krishna, Varaha and Mahishasura Mardhini Mandapas besides the famous stone bas-relief, Arjuna's Penance.
Kanchipuram was under the Pallavas from the 6th to 8th century AD and later became the citadel of the Cholas, Vijayanagar Kings, the Muslim and the British. It has been a center of Tamil learning, cultural and religious background for centuries. Kanchipuram has magnificent temples of unique architectural beauty bearing eloquent testimony to its glorious Dravidian heritage. All the religious cities in India support one of the two sects in Hinduism - Vaishnavism and Shaivism, but Kanchipuram has blended itself equally to both the sects, dividing itself into Vishnu Kanchi, surrounding the Varadaraja Temple, and Shiva Kanchi, surrounding the Ekambareshwar (also spelt as Ekambareshwa) Temple, while the Kamakshi Amman Temple stands in between as a place of Shakti worship.
After your visit to the temples, we take you to the "Silk Paradise" - Kanchipuram is also world renowned for its hand-woven silk saris. About 75% of Kanchipuram's population is dependent on the silk sari industry, either directly or indirectly. Yet, the city does not manufacture silk or any other raw material that goes into its silk saris. The silk industry is entirely made up of handloom weavers and merchants. Overnight at the hotel.
