- Y'all... Welcome to the mall!

Chennai's newest mall. What I like best about it is a bookstore called Landmark. It is huge. I have spent hours there just browsing. One place in Chennai to spend some time. Amidst the shopping, is a good food court there too.
Watch out for the next series of five pictures... or maybe even 10! The subject is that BIG!! It is the second largest of its kind in the world.

The altar in the Church. Essentially you can sit in the front of it, along the wings and even at the back of it. If you are sitting in the front of it then you can hear the choir playing in the right wing. The place I am standing to take out this picture is on a small plate of glass that looks down into the crypt where the relics of St. Thomas are kept. That chapel is below the basilica.Friday August 3, 2007 - 01:15am (IST) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - White Church!

The main entrance to the Santhome (St. Thomas) Basilica in Chennai. It is one of the 3 basilicas to be built over the tomb of an apostle of Christ. It is a WHITE church and is about 400 years old. The others are the Basilica of Saint Peter built over the tomb of St.Peter in Rome, Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela built over the tomb of St.James in Spain.
