On Sketching live.
 Our group landed on N.Mada Street, Mylapore and started to pick some scene to sketch.
I stood near a row of stalls - looking across the road, wanting to capture an old house that still stood its ground.
Started sketching standing, holding my book at chest level.
Suddenly - people jostled and I was almost knocked down -
there burst upon the scene - a procession, in full tilt.
Traditonal temple unbrellas, deities - two of them, carried by priests,
bare foot.They were running on the super hot tar road.
I stood open mouthed and watching, my pencil frozen.

Suddenly they stopped. Right in front of me.
They did some aarti - and people came out of houses - to get prasadam.
I quickly tried to sketch the scene - managed a very rough sketch.
Thankfully one of our members was taking a photo - of the scene.
That's how I could complete the colouring at home.

These were Vaishnavaite deities - probably from the temple near the smaller tank to the South of Kapaleeswarar temple.
Too soon- the priests picked up the deities again and started on their run!
