The tower that you see in the backdrop is Makka Masjid on Chennai's busiest and most famous roads - Mount Road. I liked the mood and the evening hues and also showcases the stoic existence of religion/faith amidst the fast paced lives today. In a cliched sense, it stands tall even though the world rushes by.

Was at Mylapore today to attend the Mylapore Festival which is conducted by Sundaram Finance every year. All great cities have a soul. Mylapore can rightfully claim to be the soul of Chennai city here in south India. It pre-dates Chennai's birth and has seen the city grow as it has, its own. Mylapore retains the look and feel of an old neighborhood, the culture and heritage typically south Indian, yet it has not escaped development. This place then is also just the setting for a cultural festival. That is why the Sundaram Finance sponsored Mylapore Festival is organised every year in January, on the eve of the local harvest festival of Pongal.
