Day 5: Shiva Temple



Tonight we went to a 1,000 year old Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. It is hard to find appropriate words accurately spiritual words to describe the feeling of proceeding through the temple barefoot, washing your face with fire, receiving garlands off of the idols, and following the idols in a chariot around the amazing structure. All I can really say is that I feel more connected to the Hindu people here and am starting to understand and truly appreciate their idealistic sense of community.
