Still hung up on the immobile croc in #13464. None of our photos shows it, but we were concentrating on the Sikh and the ducks.

...I thought distaff would recognize the puzzle at first glance. That was not the case it seems... But once we twigged to what you were up to, we searched our sources on the web pretty diligently andd found only your images and one other showing the croc at all clearly – indeed, showing the croc at all. How is this possible?
I suppose (taking north as 12:00 noon) that people routinely approach the fountain from 9:00 after leaving the cathedral, then proceed counterclockwise around to 3:00 and the Town Hall/Asiatic Society; whereas you, perverse rascal that you are, have gone around clockwise and seen the north side and the croc. Or is the croc some inflatable prop you put in place just for your photo?

I had been to Kanchipuram around 15 years back on 1 day trip to the temples there. I am not able to recollect the puzzle place.

Utterly mystifying! The thing is big as life and twice as wide. How could we have missed it?

Better perhaps to say I haven't a clue what you're talking about. 
Which is true – but how can you ever be sure?
