Kanchipuram (State: Tamil Nadu) is located at a distance of 75 kms from Chennai. This city was the capital of the rulers of Cholas and Pallava between the 6th and 8th centuries had over a thousand temples. But now only hundred are still around and all of them are worth a visit.
Apart from its temples, this small town is also famous for best silk and cotton sarees woven from pure mulberry silk in the country.
Some of the temples that I have seen here are:

Kanchipuram Saree is what Kanchipuram reminds me of, nice collage. Truly south India has so many beautiful temples and all worth seeing
Having 100 temples in a city is amazing enough, but having 1000 is breathtaking!
Only a hundred temples???? You are so funny. It could take months to go through them all, right?
Nice montage!
