Pallava Trail

We travel to Kanchipuram and Mamallapuram- the twin towns that ornate the Pallavan rule! Kanchipuram, the administrative town of the Pallavas, bustles with historic marvels and accomplishments. A place that reached the pinnacle of learning and is regarded as one of the 7 sacred places of India for it is a home to a thousand temples. Kanchipuram, through representation of Saivism, Vaishnavism, Buddhism and Jainism, stands tall with some of the finest structures that the world has ever seen. This town, rich in splendour, is also home to the world-famous Kanchipuram silk sarees and a delectable cuisine! Indulge in history with all your senses! Mamallapuram, was the port city to the mighty Pallavas. Beautiful sea-side temples edge this Southern strip. A sight to behold to any visitor! See the evolution of temple architecture from cave-temples of many varieties, the monoliths that showcase their pioneering efforts, open-air bas-relief which never attempted by others before or after, to the structural temples - as you walk across the shores of Mamallapuram!
