This is the soaring pyramid shaped main tower, called a gopuram of the Kapaleeshwarar Shiva
temple in central Madras. It is so large that I could not get the entire structure into the picture.

Temple priests at the Kapaleeshwarar temple. Here they are finishing up a puja, wrapping the icons of Shiva and Parvati
in cloth. Their dress is not untypical of men in Southern India. Non-hindus are not allowed into the inner sanctum of the
temple, which is common in the more revered temples in all of India.
