India history and geography
: Institut Fran莽ais de Pondich茅ry: The Shaivite legends of KanchipuramK膩帽cipur膩n蹋am, a text in Tamil dating back to the second half of the 18th century, narrates the various legends connected to K膩帽cipuram (in Tamil Nadu)鈥攐ne of the principal permanent seats of Hinduism where Vais蹋n蹋avism and 艢aivism have co-existed since a very long time.鈥擳he K膩帽cipur膩n蹋am is attributed to the poet Civa帽an虪acuv膩mi and was inspired from a Sanskrit K膩帽cim膩h膩tmya said to belong to the Skandapur膩n蹋a. Though pan-Indian in its religious traditions, it is deeply rooted in and adapted to K膩帽ci and has ensured the transmission and popularity of the 艢aiva tradition of K膩帽ci to the present day. It is summarized here in French and illustrated with photographs taken in the temples of K膩帽cipuram and other sites of Tamil Nadu.
