- The crowded streets of Chennai

- Not what you think — this is how public phones are advertised.

- Local women make flower necklaces for pilgrims to buy as offerings
-
- The church of San Tome, where the remains of St. Thomas are buried.

- Inside San Tome
-
- A woman sells necklaces on the street.
-
- More items to buy as offerings, this time at a Hindu temple to Shiva (Siva)
-
- A french tourist asks, “Is taking your shoes off the Indian National Sport?”
-
- Temple of Siva, with pilgrims awaiting entrance (non-hindus are not allowed inside)
-
- Some of my companions…
-
- The other side of the Siva temple…
-
- Pilgrims light votive oil candles in honor of Siva
-
- Pouring oil to be lit.
-
- The children brought to the ceremony got pretty bored…
