Kanchipuram's largest temple
and most important Shiva shrine, the Ekambaresvara Temple - also known as Ekambaranatha - is easily identified by its colossal whitewashed
gopuras,
which rise to almost 60m , on the north side of town. The main temple
contains some Pallava work and stands within a vast walled enclosure
beside some smaller shrines and a large fish-silled water tank. |
