Some 4 years back it was Chennai Airport from where it started and now its Central...
And Chennai is hot favorite place because whenever I visit places here I get a reason to write some or other thing. Sharp 4 O'clock exam finished and immediately hit the beach near.. Besant nagar.. sitting beside sea is always fulfilling.
After 6pm thought of coming back to guest house but on the way near Mylapore railway station (Tirumailai) saw the same temple that I just glanced through fence on the arrival day first morning when I got down from bus. Its "Kapaleeswarar Temple"...
It was looking more beautiful because of the lighting and reflection in lake. Had lot time for train so decided to visit there.
Believe me this temple is next to Tirupathi or Madurai temple.
Ancient architecture and inside there are several several ...many small statues all standing in a row.. may be tamil brahmins priests..( w.ref from wiki...they are Nayanars : Shaivite devotional poets from all classes of society.
Mesmerising experience...
Had to peacefully sit there to listen to pure music played by local/temple musicians.
Got up only at 8pm from there... had nice time.
Then rushed to Chennai central .. again its thrill to use local transport...
Got into wrong Bus ....
Got down at Chetpet ...
Walked a lot with heavy luggage and climbed up&down many stairs to get to Chetpet railway station..
Missed two locals..
Got the third local to Chennai central... 9:30 pm.
And NOW... got enough time till 11:00pm to write this Blog and upload all the pics.
