Visiting the holiest of places, we were inspired by the devotion shown by its worshippers. Least of all, the architecture and history gave us an insight into the past and taught us to appreciate the present.

We are so glad that we took the opportunity to spend the morning with Jagan in his family's village. It provided us with such a different view of India from the usual tourist trail – most interesting to see the insides of houses, people at work, fishing, repairing their roofs, et cetera, and Jagan himself was so clear and open in answering all our questions about the lives of village people. The high spot for us was a visit to the local school and the reactions of 40 delightful and enthusiastic children. This is highly to be recommended, and should be at the top of anyone's programme for a visit to southern India. Temples and palaces are great, but this is quite different.
