  • The Golden City of Kanchipuram Is One of the Seven Sacred Places of India

    The Golden City of Kanchipuram Is One of the Seven Sacred Places of India

    Kanchipuram The Golden City of Kanchipuram is one of the seven sacred places of India. Kalidasa had extolled this holy centre as Nagareshu Kanchi. It is sacred for both Saivites and Vaishnavites. This City of Thousand Temples consists mainly of two divisions - Siva and Vishnu Kanchi. Kanchipuram is 72 km from Chennai. Kamakshi Amman temple: This is one of the three important Shakti Peetams, the other two being Madurai and Kashi. The sanctum faces the Gayatri Mandapam. The beautiful deity of the Devi is in the Padmasana posture, holding a bow of sugarcane and arrows of flowers. She is worshipped as Rajarajeshwari, Maha Tripurasundari and Lalitha Kameswari. 1 / 3 Kanchipuram Legend has it that the Goddess appeared through the great concavity called Bilakasa to save the Devas from Asuras. The Kamakoti Peetam or Sri Chakram, established by Sri Adi Sankara, is in front of the Goddess and all pujas are offered to this. There are separate shrines for Adi Sankara and sage Durvasa, a Devi Upasaka. During festival processions, the Devi idol is taken out only after formally seeking Adi Sankara's permission. This is in fulfilment of a divine promise. Kamakshi being the principal Goddess in Kanchipuram, the Siva temples here have no separate sanctum for Shakti. Ekambareswara temple: Sri Ekambareswara is worshipped in the form of Prithvi Lingam (Earth). Hence Kanchipuram is considered as one of the Pancha Bhutha Sthalas. According to a legend, Parvati, once in Kailas, playfully closed the eyes of Lord Siva, plunging the entire world in darkness. An angry Siva cursed the Devi to turn dark like Kali.
