Trichy


We tried to find a hotel room in Trichy before we went to Tanjalore but we couldnt find anything because of a "wedding" or a "festival" depending on the hotel, that's why we first went to Tanjalore. Few days later we tried again with more success this time. Trichy holds the biggest Temple of India (Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple) it is a temple city, made of 7 gates, the highest one is 73 meters, in its center it holds the heart of the temple.

This is the first gate to the temple with the happy chaos from the street. 
After passing the 7 doors we finally got to the temple, with columns and buildings with statues of the deities.

The 1000 columns room. 
Elephants often are present in the temples.

The statues are very detailed and impressives.

  2. Yes the hair is gone, the hot Indian climate persuaded me to get rid of it! I hope you can make it to India, you won't regret it!
