Technically, according to our guide, the seats are for the sound-and-light show that happens every evening. But I’m sure nobody will mind if I decide to pursue alternate cultural pleasures.

I could only get some reading done because I managed to convince my mother to sneak in a nap while I read. She woke up half an hour later, absolutely refusing to believe that she’d slept at all!

It’s been ages since I visited Madurai. I didn’t even know there was a sound and light show in the palace. Was it good?

I would have loved to tell you that I saw it and loved/hated it but mom dragged me to a sari shop and then I remembered reading about a bookstore where we headed next.
