Pondy is lovely. It is a quaint town with loads of character while the throng of India is still honking in the background. I have just wandered really for the last little bit. Up and down the lanes, into temples and markets, shops and internet cafes. No set schedule or agenda, just taking it all in. Jesse are you jealous that I don't have a schedule to follow while on vacation?!
The young girl above was on her way to school and did not actually go into the temple but stood in front of the flame with her hands in prayer for quite some time.
The temple elephant on the other hand made his way into the temple and here he is coming out and getting ready to do his daily blessings. Yes, I have been blessed by a temple elephant and I have also been smacked out of the way by a fish seller in the market. I also had the privilege to take wedding pictures of a couple set to get married. I checked out Sri Aurobindo Ashram as pictures of 'the Mother' are all over town and have eaten many croissants - real french croissants! It has been grand here.
Apparently elephants wear ankle bracelets and I think a pedicure is needed!
