In 2017, in front of the ancient temple of the Golden Temple, it rained ☔, the grandfather of the toy store wiped the chair clean, let me sit and rest, saw many parents with children buying toys, a few little boys next to the temple playing wrestling, they saw me and then came up to shake hands and chat, very polite, Watching them wrestle for half an hour, turning around to leave, and after walking a hundred meters, a little boy ran over and stuffed a sugar in my hand and ran away shyly. People there are so friendly, even if you are a stranger, you will be infected with happiness

This is the site of Indian civilization. Several places retain ancient civilization buildings. It is still close to the sea. Some attractions are open for free, but some need 500 rupees (equivalent to 50 yuan). I like ancient civilizations. I might as well come here to see it.

The Armenian Church, constructed in 1712 and reconstructed in 1772, is one of the oldest churches of the Indian subcontinent, located in Chennai. It is famous for its belfry of six. The Church, also called the Armenian Church of Virgin Mary, is located on the Armenian Street in the neighbourhood of George TownFunctioning only as a heritage site, the Church is opened for visitors from 9 am till 2:30 pm.It is funded by the Armenian Apostolic Church[4] and maintained by The Armenian Church Committee in Calcutta.The graves of about 350 Armenians have been laid out throughout the Church.The founder, publisher and editor of the world's first Armenian periodical "Azdarar", Reverend Haroutiun Shmavonian, is buried here.The Belfry adjacent to the main Church structure houses six large bells which are rung every Sunday at 9:30 am by the caretaker.The Armenians were a select group of merchants in Madras Presidency. They walked all the way from Armenia, through the Hindukush mountains and came down to Madras. When the British were trading cotton cloth, Armenians dealt with fine silk, expensive spices and gems.Madras must have housed a small but a thriving Armenian population. Today there are none of them left.

Beautiful Temple.. never seen any temple in Tamilnadu so neat and clean..Weekdays not much crowded we can expect more crowds on week ends and auspicious days..Parking will be a headache especially cars you need to be lucky to find a parking and without proper parking space they will charge you 50rs…

1. The Vishnu Temple in Tiruberti, located above the mountains, is known as the world's second largest pilgrimage destination, and receives an average of 4-5 10,000 people a day. The temple is dedicated to the illusion of the Hindu protection god Vishnu. If you don't have an online reservation three months in advance, you can queue for at least 15 hours to see the true face of the statue; 2. The temple opens part of the holy lake as a swimming pool for tourists waiting in line; 3. The canteen can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time to eat (free); 4. It is said that the hair is dedicated to God, God will bless him, so there is a 24-hour barberyard (shaving, free), and formed a shaved head culture that is popular with men, women and children; 5. At7-9 on the evening of each full moon day, the temple will invite the statue of Shiva to be destroyed in a circle of the shinto for worship by the faithful.

The Brihadeeswara Temple, a true marvel of ancient architecture, left me utterly mesmerized during my visit. The moment I entered the temple complex, I was captivated by the sheer grandeur of its towering vimana, a testament to the artistic and engineering prowess of the Chola dynasty. The intricate carvings adorning every inch of the temple's walls transported me to a bygone era, where stories from Hindu mythology and daily life came alive in stone.The temple's main vimana, carved from a single piece of granite, stood as a towering symbol of devotion and craftsmanship. The precision with which the stones were cut and assembled, without the use of mortar, was awe-inspiring. As I walked around the temple, I couldn't help but admire the attention to detail in the frescoes that adorned the walls, each scene telling a story that resonated with the spirituality of the place.The serenity of the temple's inner sanctum provided a peaceful sanctuary for prayer and reflection. The play of sunlight through the intricately designed corridors created a unique ambience that was both calming and spiritual. Exploring the temple's various halls, each with its own distinct purpose and architectural style, gave me a deeper appreciation for the vision and planning that went into its creation.My visit to the Brihadeeswara Temple was not just a touristic experience, but a journey back in time that connected me with the rich heritage and cultural legacy of India. The temple stands not only as an architectural masterpiece but as a living testament to the devotion and craftsmanship of the people who built it. This is a place that will forever remain etched in my memory, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to witness the grandeur of India's ancient past.
