Perched on the highest boulder in Mamallapuram’s heritage site was Olakkaneswara Temple. Lines of children from two different schools stretched along the rock’s neck. I waited at the end near some cute girls.
When I reached the steps a boy ahead began crying. Wisely, he was afraid to go any further, not because of the height, but two monkeys were perched on a rail ahead. I didn’t like monkeys either. It was hard to predict their next move but I spotted a man standing near them with bananas and slipped past to take in the view on the opposite side of the temple.
Those monkeys can be vicious and determined when they think you might have food!

Even without food I’ve seen one get vicious
