Possibly the easiest way for Bangalore-SBC/Coimbatore-CBE/Salem-SA/Erode-ED/JTJ/KPD people for reaching KANCHIPURAM- the TEMPLE Town is to depart here, catch Share auto or Bus (Travel time - 15min) to Walaja Bus station from from all MAJOR ROUTE BUS to and via Kanchipuram will stop. Frequency is same to Chennai buses.. (Every 5 min, one bus except noons and late nights)
