Kanchipuram is situated near Chennai .It takes about 1.30 min. travelling time from Chennai.I personally visited this town 3 times so far , mainly for silk saree purchase. It is also very near Bangalore.People here speak Kannadam and Tamil combination.They are very fair looking people.
About ten years back there was very few food centers but now there are so many hotels and restaurants.The famous Saravana Bhavan a highly qualified vegetarian hotel has opened a branch here .The people mostly have their family name as Sha.
The famous Kamatchi Amman temple is situated here.Silk sarees are woven here , from here it is sent mainly to Chennai and other parts of India.A saree bought in Chennai will cost Rs. 500-1000 more if bought in Kanchipuram.Beautiful town to visit for purchase and worship.
