We were blessed by a priest (jasmine flowers around my neck) and by an elephant. The elephant's blessing was very strange...his nose was a little wet.
The beautiful Gopurams (towers) are being painted for the Kumbhabishekam, a festival that happens every 12 years. The deities were covered with scaffolding and cocanut leaves. We'll have to catch that next time...I can only imagine how spectacular that site is...7 towers full of vividly colorful figures (over 2,000 of them)...
Very old, very beautiful...I love this image of the elephant.
