Around Chennai with Sudha and Sashi

Tuesday, October 25, 2011
With Sudha and Sashi we had a tour around Chennai by the Indian Ocean, it was raining heavily but being soaked to the bones did not prevent us from admiring the marvelous temples carved in the stones next to  the sea or feeling the thrill of huge crocodiles and snakes in a wild reservation.
Today is the first day of “Diwali” which is also called the festival of lights and is one of the most important celebrations for Hindus, it symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is celebrated by lightening lights in the evening and wearing new clothes and eating lots of food. During this festival people burst crackers and fireworks. At night we enjoyed the spectacular view of lights from the apartment of Sudha´s niece.
