Kanchipuram's Oldest Sandstone Shrine Kailasanathar Temple is the oldest temple in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India, and one of the finest surviving examples of early Pallava architecture. Dedicated to Shiva, it was built of sandstone in the early 8th century by the Pallava king Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II) and completed by his son.
