Kanchipuram, the Golden City of Temples, is one of the most sacred Indian Hindu pilgrimage site. It also holds the seat of the Shankaracharya. The place is one of India's seven sacred cities and the second holiest after Varanasi. The city was once the capital of the Pallavas, Cholas, and the Vijayanagar rulers. The remains of a few Buddhist stupas indicate that Buddhism also prevailed here. One of the four seats of Sri Adi Shankaracharya (a great Hindu sage), the Kanchi Kamakotti Peetham is situated here. It has been a center for Tamil learning and culture for centuries and presents the glorious Dravidian heritage.

The city is adorned with many beautiful temples--the Ekambaranathar Temple, the Vaikunta Perumal Temple, Vaishnavite temple, the Varadaraja Temple, the Kailasanathar Temple, the Kamakshi Amman Temple and many others. One can enjoy the formation of handwoven silk sarees and can buy them too!

There are enough decent accommodation options in Kanchipuram, which cater to the needs of tourists coming to explore the city.
