Gangaikonda Cholapuram (Tamil: கங்கைகொண்ட சோழபுரம்) was erected as the capital of the Cholas by Rajendra Chola I, the son and successor of Rajaraja Chola, the great Chola who conquered a large area in South India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Sumatra, Kadaram (Kedah in Malaysia), Cambodia and others at the beginning of the 11th century A.D. It occupies an important place in the history of India. As the capital of the Cholas from about 1025 A.D. for about 250 years, the city controlled the affairs of entire southern India, from the Tungabhadra in the north to Ceylon in the south and other south east Asian countries. (Source: Wikipedia). The temple is also an architectural and engineering marvel because the shadow of the main tower never falls on the ground throughout the year.
The above picture is of the Nandi. This picture is just to show how big it is when compared to a human. Nandi is a bull, considered as the vehicle for one of the Gods of Hindu mythology called Siva. You could see that something as simple as a bull has been carved with some much artistic intricacies.
Pics Dedicated to my friend Cecil Rajendra.

The "High Chaparral" village ( Kampong Buah Pala, oldest cattle farm in Penang) celebrated its Ponggal Festival (Harvest Thanksgiving) from 14-18 January.
"High Chaparral" originally an Indian cattle rearing community who were the biggest suppliers of fresh milk in Penang last century - narrowly escaped demolition by developers last year. This year's Ponggal was therefore doubly meaningful for the villagers.
The Ponggal is a 4-day harvest thanksgiving festival : a tradition occasion for giving thanks to nature for its bounty of food especially rice and milk. The 4-day festival culminated with traditional festivities on Sunday (18 Jan).

It was a test of manhood for young men at the 100th annual Ponggal festival at the “High Chaparral” of Penang.
In honour of the Harvest Festival, the Tamil community gathered to give thanks for the year’s prosperity and prove their worth through a series of daring competitions.
Groups of youths faced off with bulls, weighing over 400kg, in an effort to yank off garlands from their horns.
Each garland contained RM100 to be shared among the successful group of bull chasers.

Henk Kleynhans of Skyrove and Rajendra Pawar of NIIT. I had a meeting
with Henk to talk about Skyrove, his software-enahanced router
service that allows users to share (the cost of) bandwidth with
others using a WiFi hotspot (see also my previous comments about
South Africa from a year ago). And I invited Raji along. And so it
emerged in our discussions that Henk had won a scholarship to NIIT's
CapeTown training school some years ago (small world), but ended up
taking a job instead....and eventually founding Skyrove to solve his
own problem of expensive Internet access.
