| | Kanchi Mahaswami Satabdhi Manimantapam |
 | | The venerable Sage of Kanchi, Sri Sri Sri ChandraSekharendra Saraswati Swamigal, "Maha Periyaval" to millions of His devotees, was the very embodiment of all that is sacred in our scriptures and a spiritual leader of universal appeal. |
 | | Apart from our scriptures, the Sage of Kanchi was a master of varied subjects like archaeology, temple architecture, numismatics, sculpture, music, dance, folk arts etc. He used to hold Conferences ('Sadas') and Workshops on all these subjects and honour experts in each field. |
 | | The SSSMM Trust was formed in 1989 with the goal of constructing a Mani Mantapam in Orirukkai Village near Kancheepuram on the northern bank of the River Palar to mark the Birth centenary of the Sage of Kanchi. |
