Not So Little India

 Little India needs more time than one afternoon to really be seen but here are a few

 shots of the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. 

 This Temple is dedicated to the Goddess Kaliamman, the ferocious Incarnation of Lord Siva's wife,  Meenachi. 

She will do what ever it takes to protect her own.

(I like the priest peeking at the camera)

This beautiful temple was built in 1855 by Tamil laborors who worked in lime kilns. When war broke out in 1942 it served as a refuge as well as a place of worship. People sought shelter there. The temple and all its statues were safe throughout the war, not hit by any bombs.

My favorite photo from the day.

I'm looking forward to exploring this place more!
