madurai

the main temple in madurai is pretty breathtaking, huh?

there are, i think i recall, four of these massive towers, and every inch is literally like festooned with all this amazing stuff. 

ceilings, too.

the mall inside the temple -- any excuse for shopping is joyfully accepted by indian pilgrims.   

if you give the temple elephant some rupees, she blesses you with her trunk ... consider me blessed!

  1. Anybody who can toss the word "festooned" into a narrative seemingly without a second thought is to be applauded.

    How about some Thai stuff?
