Chennai: Kapaleeshwar Temple and San Thome Basilica

IIT Madras
Here I come with another post of a fantastic outing.
Although I had planned the trip with temple and church in mind, I also went to two more places.

Madras High Court.
If you taking MRTS, board a train till Chennai Beach. The court is about 600 mts away from the station. On the way you will find the classic 118 old SBI building and other random shops.




Well its not a tourist place as such, but if you are in Chennai, you won't mind visiting this classic building.

Gujarati Samaj. 
This came just off my mind and thought to give it a shot. 
Happy I got to speak some Gujarati and taste some Khaman.

For the following places, you need to board MRTS for Tirumailai. 
Kapaleeshwar Temple.
Being one of the top 30 places to see in Chennai according to TripAdvisor, this is a classic temple of its own.
For me, visit to temples/religious places are always welcome. 
Especially in South India, they have a very peculiar fragrance in the temples. I guess it is of the Red Tilak they put on the foreheads. 











San Thome Basilica.
A basilica is an important church building designated by the pope because they carry special spiritual, historical, and/or architectural significance.
Enough said.
