- Etienne B0 contributionsNice short tour of spiritual locations in Mylapore with local guideWe were fortunate to be guided by our local tour guide Rajesh, who was very flexible with us as our taxi driver arrived late. He waited for us for almost 30 minutes and adjusted the schedule to our needs. We started at the Ramakrishna Math, where Rajesh explained to us a bit about the history of Chennai and the origin of the Math and its purpose. We were allowed to enter the main temple and participated in a 5-10 minute meditation. We also visited the bookstore which had very affordable and interesting books about yoga, meditation, and spirituality. Rajesh then took us to a local food court where we tried the famous South Indian coffee and some traditional snacks (included in the ticket price). Next, we walked to the Kapaleeshwarar Temple where we were able to walk around and Rajesh explained the rituals and various gods of Hinduism. Be mindful that certain areas of the temple are restricted for non-Hindus and taking of photos is prohibited in these areas. It is also important to remember the attire requirements and that there should not be any displays of affection at the temple (hugging, kissing, etc.). Lastly, we got the chance to take a tuk tuk (also included in ticket price) to the San Thome Basilica, which is 1 of the few sites in the world where a church is built over the tomb of an apostle of Jesus Christ. Overall the experience was good value for the price with a soft-spoken and genuine guide.Written 13 March 2025
