Madras (or Chennapatnam ,if you please) started off well with securing decent hotel accommodation at GRT hotel .The fringe benefits of an inspection assignment have also started accruing . I mean I could see some very nice places and add to a bulging collection of digital photographs.
The last Sunday we went to the Ramana Maharshi Asram and the Shiva temple there. The temple is fabulous .While returning to Chennai in heavy downpour we stopped at the Gingi Fort . The visit was truly a memorable one , especially the temples which ,as part of the Fort , were vandalised by the Moslem invaders .
The photographs of the dilapidated temple are highly evocative .A second visit is worth making.
