Chidambaram is a temple town, in the Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu. It is most famous for the beautiful temple, dedicated to Lord Nataraja - God Siva, in the form of a cosmic Dancer. This is one of the few temples where the Gods, Siva and Vishnu are enshrined under one roof. This ancient temple of the Cholas is unique, not only because it is devoted solely to the art of Bharatanatyam (a South Indian classical dance form), but also because it is one of the rare temples where Shiva is represented by an idol rather than the customary Lingam. Spread over 40 acres with a gopuram (tower) on each side, the temple is distinguished by five sabhas or courts.
This was a rag-picker outside the temple. Mark the arrogance in his eyes and his matted dreadlocks.

The devastating effect of Cyclone Thane at Pondicherry / Cuddalore, India -
Packing a wind speed of 140km per hour, Cyclone Thane pummelled the Tamil Nadu coast and the Union territory of Puducherry on Friday (28th to 31st December 2011) morning, leaving in its wake 35 dead besides untold devastation. The cyclone made its landfall between Puducherry and Cuddalore district in the state, bringing with it strong winds and heavy rains all along the coast.
Cuddalore, Tiruvallur and Villupuram districts along Tamil Nadu's northern coast and Puducherry were the worst hit - several huts and small houses collapsed like a pack of cards, main arterial roads were damaged and uprooted trees and electric posts were strewn across streets and pavements.
The picturesque 180km coastal stretch from Marakkanam (Villupuram district), about 120km from Chennai, up to Nagapattinam, including Puducherry and Cuddalore districts, bore the brunt of the cyclone. The East Coast Road (ECR) from Marakkanam to Nagapattinam in central Tamil Nadu resembled a war zone with uprooted trees, electric posts and signboards disrupting traffic flow.
Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa, who took stock of the situation in the morning in a meeting with senior officials in Chennai, sanctioned Rs 150 crore for immediate relief measures in the affected areas and directed four ministers to visit the districts devastated by the cyclone. Jayalalithaa also directed district collectors, deputy collectors and department secretaries to assess the extent of the damage caused by the cyclone and submit a report. In a statement, she said four teams of the National Disaster Management have been sent to affected districts.
Most of the deaths were due to wall collapses, electrocution, drowning and severe cold. Cuddalore district collector V Amuthavalli said the damages were extensive. "As per preliminary assessment, more than 5,000 houses of fishermen were damaged in the cyclone. Telephone lines were affected. We don't have exact figures of the death toll as of now," she said.
In Chennai, which escaped the fury of the cyclone, two people were killed in rain-related incidents. While a woman was killed in a building collapse, a man was electrocuted.
Police said 19 persons, including two children and seven women, were killed in Cuddalore district. However, an official statement put the death toll at 26 in Tamil Nadu, including 21 in Cuddalore, two each in Villupuram and Tiruvallur and one in Chennai.
The government announced compensation of Rs 2 lakh for each of the bereaved families. The Chennai Met office forecast few spells of rain and thundershowers in the city on Saturday morning but predicted clear skies by evening. The weather conditions in Puducherry, Cuddalore and Nagapattinam are also expected to improve by Saturday.

A boy smiles, standing in the Government Home for Tsunami-Affected Children, in the city of Cuddalore in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The facility provides care, shelter, basic education, and recreational activities for an estimated 52 orphans and other vulnerable children, most of whom are from fishing villages. The complex consist of four dormitories, separate latrines for girls and boys, a school for Grade 1-5 students, a large indoor recreational space that doubles as a dining area, and a room for a weekly doctor s visit.
In September/October 2009 in India, long-term development continues, almost five years after the 26 December 2004 earthquake off the western coast of Indonesia and subsequent tsunamis devastated coastal areas in more than eight countries. The tsunami killed almost 230,000 people, destroyed infrastructure, schools and health facilities, and caused massive social, economic and environmental devastation. An estimated one third of all victims were children. The international community responded with an unprecedented outpouring of relief and recovery support. UNICEF tsunami funding for all countries reached more than US $694 million, 75 per cent of which was raised from individual and private sector sources by National Committees. More than 12,000, Indians were killed, over 600,000 were displaced and a total of some 2.79 million people affected. The southern state of Tamil Nadu and the entire Andoman and Nicobar Islands were among the areas worst affected. Working with government authorities, local communities, UN, NGO and other partners, UNICEF helped provide supplies, training and other support to restore and improve community-based health services, water supply and sanitation systems, and schools, while also supporting psychosocial recovery and other child protection interventions. UNICEF tsunami-related programmes have been fully integrated into ongoing services in the country.
