More pics from Trichy

These pics are from inside the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, the largest active temple complex, I believe, in the world.

Please click on the pic to enlarge.

First, a self-portrait, from an auto-rickshaw in the reflection of a shiny side of a bus.
Unfortunately, the entire complex was under re-painting (on the Gopuram gates) and a massive multi-year reconstruction, so some areas were closed off that wouldn't be normally.  Still an amazing place.
A Gopuram under wraps, with new, but unfinished, painting .


The temple is like a small city, with roads and alleys filled with shops and side of street vendors.







Pre-made offerings




...and if you need some beads, there are plenty available.


...or post-cards.
