Goddess Mariamma Hindu temple, a couple blocks south of Indpendence Palace
 
 
 
 
This bustling scene, lacking the quiet solemnity of a Buddhist temple or Christian church, greets the visitor at the door. I never witnessed this marketplace atmosphere at Hindu temples in India..
 
 
 
 
 
Vendors contribute to the marketplace atmosphere.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The young man was in distress--guilt or dire need?--and all three were petting the statue ardently.
 
 
 

 
Is that a motorbike at the end of the hall?
