Driver Velu took me to the Indian Sea Shell Museum, never knew about it. U see entrance. Awesome is the word. Loved it. Museum has a collection of 40k rare and unique shells. We present some pics. Did not see the Aquarium and a store that sells pearl jewellery.
"Fossils, shark teeth and whale fins are the other items of display. My favourites at this museum are the car, ship and train made out of oyster shells". To know more

Next to the Varaha Cave many parrot readers sit like u see on left of pic. If I understood Tamil would have loved to know what the parrot said about me. Leaving that for next visit.
