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.

Intricately decorated with stories from ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/stunning-temple-in-chennai/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/a-visual-tour-around-mamallapuram-south-india/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-visual-tour-around-mamallapuram-south-india https://bkpk.me/a-visual-tour-around-mamallapuram-south-india/#comments Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:36:27 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6637
Half way between the cities of Chennai and Pondicherry, in Tamil Nadu, sits Mammallapuram (also known as Mahabalipuram). Famous for its grand stone carvings and structures, this town dates back to the 7th/9th century and it’s one of the oldest examples of South Indian architecture within the Dravidian style.

There is something sad about the moment when this photo was taken. We were walking close to the sea in Puducherry and there was a public event taking place. Loud music was playing and people were generally having fun. We approached the crowd to see what was going on: there ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cotton-candy/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-auroville-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-auroville-2 https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-auroville-2/#comments Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:18:01 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6563
During one of our days in Pondicherry, we decided to go to near-by Auroville, the City of Dawn. I have been in places with rather particular life-styles, but I have to say that Auroville ranks very high on the top of places with unique society and organization. Auroville is all about ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-auroville-2/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-puducherry/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-puducherry https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-puducherry/#comments Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:40:26 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6560

Once the main reason we traveled to the South of India was to escape the madness that Delhi and our ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-puducherry/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-chennai/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-chennai https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-chennai/#comments Thu, 21 Feb 2013 11:15:57 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6486
Before going to the state of Tamil Nadu, in South India, all I knew about it would pretty much boil down to this – Benny Lava:     OK. Maybe this is not completely true. But I find this video so hilarious that I just couldn’t help but sharing it ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/azs-adventures-in-tamil-nadu-chennai/feed/ 19
