Kanchipuram

Another night on the Kanyakumari Express simply wasn't in the cards. (We had no cards. Even if we had had, they'd only have stuck to our skin and fused to the vinyl sleeping bunks.) So we got off near Vellore, took a rickshaw to the central square and were — this was a first for me — hailed by a bus. Here we are in the world sari capital, city of seven gopurams. Off now to inspect the workshops.
