We had an amazing day learning about the colorful Gods of India. Kannan took us to some amazing places of worship including the Kapalleswar Temple, Ramakrishna Mutt and the San Thome Basilica. The 2 standout experiences were the colourful rituals explained to us by kannan at Kapaaleswar temple and the privilege of seeing the relics of St Thomas at the San Thome Basilica. 5 Senses Walks is a great company for culture walks as the guide or cultural evangelists as they call themselves, are knowledgeable as well as super friendly. I would highly recommend doing the Gods Of Mylapore walk. Its a great way to spend 3 hours and will change your perspective!
