We live very near the neighborhood of Malleswaran, which includes a small fruit and flower markets and several temples. When I was last here six years ago one of my favorites was a Nandi temple. Nandi is the divine bull of Shiva, one of the most important gods in the Indian pantheon. However I don't think of it as a Nandi temple, when I was last here I was struck by the pond full of turtles in the center of the temple grounds. Because of how much this fascinated me and my sister in my family we refer to this temple as the turtle temple. Today we went out and saw the turtle temple again, and across the road is a Sri Gangamma temple which has a beautiful roof so I have some pictures of it as well.
