Even though they have kept their age-old tra- ditions intact, they haven’t shied away from embracing modernity. Its history and monuments are evidence of the sto- '.(/.-")&'./C ries for the rest of time. For filmmaker, art-historian and photographer Benoy K Behl, Kanchipuram became a place of inspira- tion. He depicts that in his documentary, F  %$ &     !,    Imperial City of Kanchipuram. Behl says that Kanchipuram is one of the seven    .=* 2 ! $ $  $( D& )/ 1(1) most holy cities for Hindus in India. Many famous Buddhist philosophers and thinkers were born in the city including Bodhi Dharma, who intro- duced Zen Buddhism in China at the Shaolin temple in the 6th century. The word Zen comes from Dhyana and this form of Buddhism also spread to Japan, where it made a landmark contribution to Japanese culture. It is also believed that Bodhisena, who was invited by the Emperor of Japan to inaugurate the 8th century temple of Todaiji in Nara, was from Kanchipuram. Large numbers of Roman coins have been found in this part of Tamil Nadu, so we know that Romans did extensive trade in the area. The considerable trade and interaction with South East Asia is seen from the fact that the Pallava alphabet is still used in many of the scripts of South East Asia. Romans came to Kanchipuram for spices and because it was a major cot- ton weaving centre. The cotton of course came from further North from the Deccan, it was brought here and the weavers developed this very fine art of weaving the Kanchipuram cotton saree. Behl, in his documentary, showcas- es the rich history of the city. He tells us that Kanchipuram was also one of the greatest centres for the study of Sanskrit, Pali and Tamil. Today, it is known as a city of a thousand temples. King Rajasimha made the glorious Kailashanatha Temple here for his per- sonal worship. A foundation inscription states that he erected this great house of Shiva “to reflect his own glory and the Mahishasur Mardini.
