You can visit these temples in the order they are mentioned. So, it is very easy to identify who has built/worshipped in that temple. In TamilNadu, Lord Shiva is referred as Eswaran, so the temple names end that way. We have tried to maintain the number at 108. There are other temples inside Kanchipuram as well. There are hundreds of other temples outside this perimeter which could take years to identify and document. So let us atleast try to preserve the rest.Īll these temples are located in a radius of 10 kms from the Kanchipuram city. How many of them have been encroached and demolished. We have no clue on how many temples have got beneath constructions and roads. True to the statement, there is a temple in every street. It it said that every bit of land in Kanchi has a Sivalinga beneath it. This is a small attempt to document them and encourage devotees to the temples. Innumerable temples dot the landscape of this city, but unfortunately most of them are forgotten. Kanchipuram is holy to both devotees of Lord Shiva and Vishnu.
