Near Tidel Park on Old Mahabalipuram Road
On OMR, near Tidel Park, labelled as the IT Expressway. Shot with Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
At the Dharmeswara Temple, Manimangalam. The temple was built by the Cholas, but the village has an older history. This was the theatre of war between Badami Chalukyas and Pallavas led by Narasimhavarman I. This is also one of the Chaturvedimangalams.
Lord Shiva is worshipped here as Dharmeswarar. Goddess is Vedhambikai.
ASI is maintaining this temple. I first visited the temple in 2007. There is some improvement ow but it is offset by a new structure in bright blue roll-formed steel sheets in the outer prakaram. Definitely an eyesore. Villagers also freely graze cattle on the premises.
One of the cows grazing and the vimanam formed a nice reflection on a puddle.

This old lady seems to be contributing her bit for cow protection. She sells greens for the cows in front of the Gaushala in West Mambalam. The cows get fodder, her clients get satisfaction and she makes a living.
Two terrors on Chennai roads- roaming cattle and rushing autos. Seems to be at peace in this scene at Madambakkam, Tambaram.
Terracotta horses and bulls are a common sight in Ayyanar shrines in Tamil Nadu villages.
This image is from a 5-star resort near Madras.
One of the many crumbling bungalows of Egmore. This one with a polygonal projected balcony was situated on Gengu Reddy street. A tethered cow in front of the classic structure added to the visual effect as it awaits its inevitable fate.

The Chennai Photowalk
There is a cacophony of debate about “Jallikkattu” in the media and on the streets. But no one seems to care for this cow which had to go from shop to shop for something to munch.

In my ‘The World is My Studio’ series.
For the Chennai Photo walkers, the world is a studio. This intrepid photographer is ‘doing a matador’, precariously positioned to photograph a stray cow on a near-dilapidated bridge across the Adyar at Ekkattuthangal.
This is perhaps the first lesson in composition. When photographing people, make sure that there are no lampposts, trees or other objects sticking out of the subject’s head. You can break the law for some unusual effect. Like the cowherd here who is so attached to his herd that he has grown horns himself.
