Follow the temple trail of the Kanchipuram - Madurai - Tiruchirapalli - Kanniyakumari
circuit and discover some of the notable examples of temple art and architecture.
The Kailasanatha temple at Kanchipuram with a four-storeyed tower and octagonal
shikhara is a commendable piece of creativity. During the reign of the Pandyas,
the temple walls were pierced by entrance gates, surmounted by soaring towers
called gopurams, taller than those raised on the shrine itself and elaborately
sculptured. The Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple at Madurai and the Rock Fort temple
at Tiruchirapalli figure among the marvels of the temple architecture of South
India.
