[Leica] Mylapore

Thanks for looking.

Actually what the person is reading is interesting. It is a magazine on
traditional Hindu religious philosophy published locally, not in Sanskrit
or Tamil, but in English!

To decode the image a little further, the thread over his left shoulder
(actually should be nine threads knotted together) indicates that he
belongs to the Brahmin caste, and the vertical lines of ash on his
forehead, which signifies a trident, means that he is a worshiper of
Vishnu, one of the supreme trinity of gods in the Hindu pantheon,
collectively known as Trimurthi.

Cheers
Jayanand
