Follow the temple trail, as it threads its way through the
Kanchipuram-Madurai-Tiruchirapalli- Kanyakumari circuit, and discover some of the most memorable forms of temple art and architecture. The Kailasnatha temple at
Kanchipuram, with a four-storeyed tower and octagonal
shikhara, is a commendable piece of creativity. The Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple at
Madurai, and the Rock Fort temple at
Tiruchirapalli, the Kumari Amman temple at Kanyakumari are just some of the marvels of temple architecture of South India. |

East India, too, is replete with impressive temples. A journey through the temple belt, Bhubaneswar-Puri-Konark, reveals a grand tradition of awesome architecture exhibited in places of worship. |
