A Large Shiva/Nandi Statue @ Kanchipuram

When I was going to Kanchipuram from Chennai (on the Chennai-Bangalore expressway), I saw a vast Shiva/Nandi statue on my left hand side. This statue was found just before one takes a left to go to Kanchipuram from the principle street (primary curve) and soon after the L&T production line.


I got to be interested and went close to the spot to enquire with the security staff on whether I can visit the premises. He was glad to join me, show around the spot and answer my inquiries. I came to realize that this premise is not really a Temple, but rather is intended to be more similar to a landmark. It appears it is constructed and oversaw by Sankara Madam, situated in Kanchipuram.

The Nandi Statue is around 25-30 feet in tallness and the Shiva statue is around 60-70 feet in stature. I am not certain on the off chance that you can figure its range from the photos, however the statues are tremendous and are effortlessly noticeable from the principle street. It appears this spot is open for open to visit (there are no tickets).

He let me know something else that was considerably additionally intriguing. It appears, Sankara madam has additionally conceptualized a legacy/legendary historical center directly behind this spot and individuals can visit it to get a look at our fanciful history. He says media based shows are likewise included.

In any case, they require no less than 5-6 individuals to work imperative shows in that exhibition hall (guests in gatherings). Since I went alone, I was not ready to visit it. On the off chance that anybody can visit this spot, please share your involvement in the remarks segment underneath.


In the mean time, observe some photos of Lord Shiva/Nandi and a short video I took close to the landmarks.
