Scenes around aruvathumoovar, mylapore

I work out of Mylapore and love this local festival, gypsies, small traders of many odd trinklets that change the buzzing city into a simple village mall that it once could have been. The life and energy of the people and their participation and percievable joy benumbing the high rise that have come up all around of large prohibitive commercial establishments. This is the ordinary people's festival, most things you can buy cost less than Rs. 10/-, whole lot of free food distribution and amidst all these buzzing activities the 63 nayanmars find their safety and security for their annual serenade. This is Jai Ho Chennai!
