Why take this tour?

This Chennai walk in Mylapore will demystify Hindu Gods & Temple rituals. From far, the thousands of Hindu Gods and complex rituals in temples look bewildering! Our Cultural Evangelist will demystify the reason for so many Gods and purpose of Temple rituals. Relics of St Thomas are a highlight of this walking tour in Chennai. Visit the Shrine in San Thome Basilica to see relics like a small bone of St Thomas, the head of the lance with which the Saint was pierced and an ancient painting of Our Blessed Mother. A unique aspect of this walking tour in Chennai is that it is led by a cultural evangelist who will bring alive the cultural heritage of Mylapore.
