It was the turn of the elephant today

The Yaanai vahanam procession held today night was a colourful one.

But what probably struck out was the way in which the Sri Padam volunteers walked with the heavy vahanam on their shoulders.  And when they moved to the beats of the nadaswaram and tavil, a few devotees who had gathered there skipped and hopped along with them.

The pictures seen here were taken by Vana Narayanan, a resident of Mylapore.
