Last year we took a trip to Chennai. Zara had to see the south of India and what better place to start than take a trip to Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. South Indian temples are very different from the ones in the North. Intricately decorated with stories from mythology, the colors stand out and the tales from Hindu history come alive!
This photo is from the Kapaleeswarar Temple in Chennai. We walked around the temple grounds and attended the evening prayer (Aarti), several people came in for the ritual. It was a noisy, colorful event!
