Inside Sri Kapali Temple, vahana mandapams look bright

 Visitors and daily temple-goers at Sri Kapali Temple, Mylapore are now greeted by swathes of traditional red and white colours.
All the gates of the vahana mandapams are being painted as red bands, while the white bands remain; the red replaced the blue.
The painters have been at work through this week and they are in the final stage of this job.
