Kailasanatha Temple

Dedicated to Shiva, this is the oldest temple in Kanchipuram, the priest gave us a very good tour of the inner sanctum. Light plays off the carvings changing their appearence when the direction is changed. The old stone work is being covered with plaster to restore the detail, up close it looks awful.
