Colour in the court!
A
courtroom is not the first place one thinks of when it comes to beauty.
But beauty does make an appearance in all kinds of places and a
courtroom is no exception.
And the saying goes that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
This
one is from the Madras High Court. It was a holiday for the Court and
therefore it was easier to spot the stained glass on the lunette (I
believe that's what it is called) above the door. I think I would have
been too captivated by the drama around the door - it leads to the Court
Hall 1 where the Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at
Madras sits.
You
may also find it difficult to figure out the beauty of the lunette -
the corridor is quite well shaded from the sun. And being a holiday,
there was only the one tube light along the way, distracting from the
stained glass, as it were. But you don't have to take my word for it.
Visit the Court and you will see not only this but also beautifully
tiled ceilings and other stained glasses - including a few over the seat
of the Hon'ble Chief Justice!
