Q3 of 13 Page 94

Discuss in class the visit you paid to a nearby temple.

Visit a South Indian temple.

The temple was devoted to Krishna and is situated in East Delhi. Its premises and design contrast the city and apartments that surround it. Everyone who enters the temple has to be barefoot. There is a central shrine in which is the main idol. Around the shrine runs a passageway where other deities are also worshipped. They have many poojas in a day and festivals round the year. In the evening, they lit small lamps around the shrine and there is always a serene smell of incense. They also distribute Prasad throughout the day. Some women also can be found chanting outside the shrine. It is a beautiful experience.
