Temple guarded by Lions @ Kanchipuram

Kanchipuram (???????????) is rightly called the “City of 1000 temples”. Though we might not find 1000s of temples currently, there are atleast few hundreds. And a handful of them still active with rituals and pujas being performed on a daily basis. The below is from Kailashnath Temple. Accounting to Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at home (yeah yeah my laziness too added to the delay :))  ended up at this place just after noon- after an hour and half drive from Chennai. Though the sun was harsh, the shot came out really good as I was able to sneak and set the tripod in the extreme corner for an HDR shot.

  5. Hey man! Had no idea that an Everest of a talent is beneath that cool demeanor. I am spellbound and speechless. I just went through your gallery. Some of the images of the UT desert – only I could imagine someone like Steven Spielberg or Ron Howard is capable of showing.

    Hats off to your talent man!

    Keep up the good work…
