Universal temple


This has to be one of my favorite spots in chennai. It’s not just the bhakthi factor.. for i am almost like an agnost. I think it’s got to be something more. I dunno what…This place has a kind of calming influence in my mind.

I shot this on saturday evening. I avoided the traditional straight on angle since i felt it was too two dimensional. i felt this angle captures the mood and atmosphere which goes so wonderfully with this temple…

    rishya,
    thanks for the suggestion, but here i included the trees deliberately. i wanted the surroundings and the ppl as part of the pictire.
    but i think i shud’ve avoided that banner on the left.
