About the temple

The Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram is one of South India's oldest surviving monuments, built during the Pallava era around 700 CE and dedicated to Lord Shiva. Its distinctive Dravidian architecture and intricate stone carvings exemplify early temple construction techniques. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
