In between shopping excursions last Saturday, Abdul and I visited Chennai's Government Museum. It was interesting. It had several rooms filled with stone carvings, mostly of Hindu gods. That's me with my new friend. I forgot to read his name on the plaque. None of my co-workers recognized him, so apparently he is not very popular.
This is the skeleton of a whale.Admission to the museum was approx. $7. It cost another $5 to take my camera with me. Admission for Abdul was Rs 15, which is about 40 cents. Abdul complained. When he was young, the museum cost only a couple rupees.
There was an entire room dedicated to Hindu gods made out of brass.
