Ekambareswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, India
The temple complex spans over 25 acres with four grand gateway towers, including a southern tower that reaches eleven stories high.
The temple construction began during the Pallava period around 600 CE, with major expansions during the Chola dynasty in the ninth century.
The temple represents the element Earth among the Pancha Bhoota Stalam temples and contains the Sahasra Lingam featuring 1,008 carved Shiva lingams.
The temple remains open from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with direct access from Kanchipuram Bus Stand and Railway Station.
An ancient mango tree within the temple grounds, believed to be 3,500 years old, produces fruits of four different tastes from its branches.
