Today I've been out exploring the city in spite of the heat. In the middle of shopping street Lakshmi road I found a tiny little temple where they were performing some kind of a ritual. The god statues were first washed (the godly bath) and then covered by a sandalwood mud; sandalwood is meant to have a cooling effect and I was told: "The gods are having a cool down". I guess I'm not the only one who struggles with the heat at the moment. Apparently this happens only once a year so I was pretty lucky I walked up on this today!

I asked this guy if I could take a picture of him...
And all of the sudden I had a group of boys lining up to have their photo taken...
