Kanchipuram - A Temple City

Located just 70 kms from Chennai, Kanchipuram is the must see tourist destination. Known as a city of thousand temples, Kanchi is one of the oldest cities in South India, and was a city of learning for both Tamil and Sanskrit. The Sanskrit term "nagareshu Kanchi" means that Kanchi was the best amongst the cities of medieval India. It was during the reign of Pallava dynasty, from the 4th to the 9th centuries that Kanchi attained its limelight. The city served as the Pallava capital, and many of the known temples were built during their reign. This documentary film contains the important temples of Kanchi.

@Rohit84up HInduism is very vast to understand. please try to understand the underlying principle in this religion. You may say there are several gods at the same time say only one. this is the very essence of this religion. There are many massengers in indian culture like budda, thirthankaras, Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madhwacharya. all are equivocal in the concept of god. there is no doubt in this regard. for many mind sets many faces of god. let them practice their own way

@Rohit84up why would I trust you? You have displayed no knowledge of Hinduism, but you slate it then you presume to claim that I am deaf and dumb, but you have no Idea of what I know. Pray tell what so called truth have you found?

@kumarsa108

Well if you wana play deaf, dumb and blind then all power to you. Expand your harizon and you might find the truth some day and trust me it does not lie in hinduism.

@Rohit84up well swings and roundabouts, I have found Hinduism makes absolute sense to me. How odd coming from a Christian background and here you bamboozled by the Vedantic religion.

TONNES OF THANKS TO THE VID UPLOADER. THE VDO IS CRISP, SHORT YET WITH MINIMUM INFORMATION ON A GREAT CITY. I HOPE MODERNISATION AND TOURISM WILL BE MANAGED IMAGINATIVELY SO THAT THE MESSAGE OF KANCHI IS NOT DISTORTED OR KILLED. ALSO I LIKE THE SWEET, MEDIUM TO FAST PACED LILT OF MANDOLIN (WETERN INSTRUMENT) AND RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT (MRIDANGAM) PRESENTED WITH THE VIDEO.

@Rohit84up (Correction to one sentence I just wrote) Esply Christianity and Islam have produced the greatest no. of fanatics and extremists threatening modern civilisation due to fanaticism = lack of RESPECT AND BOLD ADMISSION of human and natural diversity in their propaganda. I do not mean their original exponents (Jesus and Prophert Nabi).K'puram with huge temples for Vishnu and Siva represents honours this diversity of basic oneness of God.

@Rohit84up Esply Christianity and Islam have produced the greatest no. of fanatics and extremists threatening modern civilisation due to fanaticism = lack of human and natural diversity. Greatest thinkers across the world have boldly come out with their admiration of the Vedic tenets that converge spiritually and at the higher end of science.

[bmkaruppan]

@Rohit84up Hinduism is a misnomer, due to people who flooded into India without pausing to understand it. Hinduism stands for simple, unfettered philosophy and living of life which is expressed in the most ancient of world's spiritual texts namely the Vedas. Only the Vedas declare all paths of faith lead to the One Absolute God who shows to different peoples differently.

UPLOADER SRIMANSRINI DESERVE OUR HEARTY AND GRATEFUL APPRECIATION FOR HIS WONDERFUL VIDEO ON KANCHI, WHICH ENCOURAGES VIEWER CURIOSITY TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING SIGNIFICANCE OF WHY SO MANY IN A CONTINUITY CHERISHED AND BUILT UP SUCH AN SPIRITUALISED ARCHITECTURE FOR MANKIND'S BENEFIT. I have also commented in resp.to Rohit.. and Binoy.I am an informal Hindu that is universalist.
