Tuesday we got up early and boarded the bus in Bellur to take us to the Bangalore airport. After a long check in process, we boarded the plane to Chennai where another bus awaited us to drive us to Kanchipuram. It was a long day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After check in at our hotel, we met in the lobby where our bus was waiting to take us to Ekambaraswara Temple (one of five Shiva temples associated with fire element). It was late in the day when we arrived at the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monkeys <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There were renovations being done on one of the temples which made for a good jungle gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this is a bit out of chronology but thought it would fit in here. The notice below was sitting on the night stand in our hotel room. Evidently monkeys pose a nuisance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
