Madras, Holy Tank at Tirukalikunoram

[Original caption] Madras, Holy Tank at Tirukalikunoram. Here in a great square court surrounded by people, palms, and neem-trees, we have one of the great Holy Tanks of Indian pilgrimage. Half the sins of a lifetime may be washed away by an immersion in the waters by those who devoutly believe in, and humbly request, such a baptismal plunge. [end]
