The Reverse Blessing
Image by VinothChandar
I took this shot in the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. There is a custom in all south indian temples where the pilgrims offer money or food to the temple elephant and get blessing from the elephant in return. Usually the pilgrims will bow in front of the elephant and the elephant will tap its trunk in the pilgrims head which is treated as a blessing. The opposite happened here where a foreign pilgrim stood reverse and got blessing from the elephant. It was really funny and interesting.

BGC Sidetrips - Santiago, Chile

I'm fortunate that I get to go a lot of very cool places as part of my work at BGC Engineering. I visit sites for geotechnical and mine closure work. These aren't the job sites, but rather places nearby.
This photo appeared in the July 2011 Air Canada Enroute Magazine photo contest for Santiago.
