What a delightful couple Rosy and Inbakanth are! Despite the sadness of a recent family loss, they welcomed us into their home and introduced us to their way of life. Firstly, Inbakanth took us to the spice market and explained the dietary advantages to certain spices, demonstrating that there is much, much more than just adding curry powder to our food - everything has a reason! We were amazed at the vast quantities available and which are sold every day! After about an hour at the market, we returned to the house and Rosy showed us how to produce a delicious lunch in minutes. I had forgotten all about pressure cookers years ago, yet it proves to be a vital part of what would otherwise be lengthy meal preparation. They clearly are very happy in what they do, working together so well and had no hesitation discussing their lives and customs. It is an altogether authentic insight into daily family life and we thank them for sharing.

We took an auto taxi($1) 1 km east from our Hotel Royal Court. Arriving at the quiet shaded West Tower just after 9 AM, we had little competition in storing our mobile phone, day bag with camera, and finally our shoes, receiving a receipt for each item. Next we proceeded through entry security, by gender, and then freely entered the West Tower tunnel into the 14 acre complex. Deciding to circumambulate clockwise, our first stop was the museum. After paying the foreigner fee, we entered the forest of carved pillars, viewing the many ancient preserved sculptures. Then we came to the wide center hall, focused on its lighted shrine with 2 long rows of huge sculpted pillars and brightly painted ceiling, a magnificent visual display, unmarred by the many butter lamps and confusion of the numerous pilgrims at similar sights inside the inner temple. Strolling that inner temple/shrine complex was enlightening, being blessed by the resident elephant,Parvati, and seeing her and a white bull, Nandi, march in procession accompanied by a band and large palanquin bearing a statue and carried by 20 strong men. After passing the tank with its golden lotus, and the super long queue for the free Darshan, we exited over hot stones to recollect our possessions at the still cool West Gate. Walking toward our next sight, we passed a growing line of pilgrims crowding the hot sunny South Gate.
