A brand new temple on the road home. Opened on Sunday. Opulence--another mini Tajmahal
 |
| Intricate design and carefully manicured gardens |

| Massive, massive Durga Statue (equal to a 5 story building?) |
Never having seen a statue of this size/magnitude made me think of an amusement park setting with a religious twist. The pictures don't do justice with the position of the sun. India 0-100 is the only way to describe the diversity. I was told that there was even a larger one in another city--remarkable. The wonder of human interpretation/invention. From the Saint on the street to this. The magic carpet was truly magical. It felt like a very intense education about the diversity of religious/spiritual manifestation in a country known for their spiritual roots/tapestry woven by the fabric of the land, history, and civilization. Jai Guru!!! Time for reflection and digestion during the 5 hour drive home.
