64 aspects of Lord Shiva
Kailashanathar temple of Kanchipuram has frescoes that portrayed scenes from the "Sivaleela" and sculptures of Uma Maheshvaran, Parvati, Ganesha and lord Shiva as great hunter ( Kirata ), among others. The inscriptions in Pallava "grantha" (meaning script) on the temple walls include the various titles of Narasimhavarman II, such as Rajasimhan, Ajiranakanta, Srithara, Ranathira and Kshatriya Simhesvara.
Of all the temples in India, no other edifice has been so elaborately filled with all the 64 aspects of Lord Shiva. The temple is unique in its architecture and is viewed more as an architectural wonder than as a holy place. Hence, it is never crowded with locals. But, once in a year during Shivaratri (celebrated throughout the night ) festival, the shrine becomes the focus of vigorous celebration.
