Tales from Thousand lights.
Thousand lights, is the name of a mosque in chennai, India. Eventually the whole area around that mosque was named Thousand lights.
it is a predominantly Moslem neighborhood, but it has its share of Hindus and christians. and it is also one of the oldest parts of Chennai.
walking along the streets of thousand lights, it was very moving to see the painted statements on the walls which cry out statements of religious tolerance, one can find Murugan ( A Hindu God) Jesus ( the christ), Ganesha ( the remover of obstacles) and Mecca Masid, and a Cross.
they seem to say " No matter how different we are, we can still live together peacefully"
