Temples in the Trees
February 12th 2010 16:33
It seems the most common place to find a temple in the city are trees. Every few trees you will see there is a small idol or framed photo of a God hung on the tree. The few people in that area start offering flowers and prayers to this idol and it becomes a temple.
Many of them actually become quite popular, and part of the entire hum of the city.
On my 15 minute walk from home to office I actually come across 3 such shrines!
The above tree is actually a place the drivers and other guys gather around to play cards, but everyday there is a fresh flower garland there.
