I am sharing two very short videos from the Vaikuntha Perumal temple in Kanchipuram, India . The videos are courtesy Soma Jha. The first one is a very brief video just to give you a general idea about the interiors of the temple and the 2 nd one is a clipping of quite a unique musical instrument in the temple. It combines together the sounds of drums and bells quite well.
