Sights and Sounds of Velankanni Matha Temple (!)

 Without any expectation, we reached Velankannai Matha temple, a work of art by itself; grand, magnificent and so many other adjectives rushed into the mind. Watch for yourself.




Surprises were in store when I came out of the temple as we started walking out of the temple towards the beach!





We were wondering whether we were in Velankanni or in Palani. Watch the board.

The shops, the shoppers, the sight and the sound that resembled any Hindu temple surprised us.

The beach and the crowd had more surprises that included the fish stalls.

 The sea was so calm that children build castles in sand; watch the children playing so merrily: was this the sea that mercilessly killed thousands of people?
