Siva...Siva!!

The Kapaleeswarar temple in Chennai is just awesome.Specially during sunset when the sky hangs low and casts its shadow on the towering pillars.A pretty musical sight though, to hear and see koels and crows, croon into the blue venom throated Siva's ears.As HE is seated with his family and friends, the ganas, aghoris and the rich natural grandeur painted into sculpted silence, the spiritual canvas, just gets brighter and better! A tapestry of stories running in its own levels of pattern, the essence of all nature echos in the chants from the walls of the temple within.Still unaware of its historical significance, but overwhelmed by its sheer spiritual space, the visit does establish a stirring of a quest that matches to its depth of quantum of solace.
