After my national park visit, I made a long train journey south to Chennai, where I visited Kapalishvara temple. Then I headed further south to Chidambaram, where I watched a religious festival before exploring Sabhanayaka temple. An overnight train trip took me to Rameswaram. I woke as the train crossed India Gandhi Bridge. All hotels were full so I moved on to Madurai after touring Ramalingeshwara temple. At Madurai I visited Sri Meenakshi temple again. Next day, at the station, platform 1 was full of women and children dressed in red - a glorious sight. They were off to Chennai on a pilgrimage. Yet another overnight train took me to Tirunelveli, where I saw beautiful and distinctive Nellaiyappa temple. I drove to Tiruchendur to see the shore temple but didn't photograph it. At Tirunelveli I caught a small local train across the Ghats to Quilon. Alas, I ran out of film as the train approached the hills.
