WHAT HINDOOS DO...

Here are familiar images you can expect to find in and around temples all over India and in this case Jaffna, Sri Lanka...with some variations depending on particular gods and traditions emphasized in certain locations.
Colorful to say the least, they certainly stir the senses in their depiction of familiar characters from epics and stories told for a long time, with occasional references to birth, life and death craftily woven in...Some call it Maya...                              

I met a man with understanding who said when asked if he was a Hindoo... Yes, but l don't go to the temple... Why?... Because of exploitation of the people by the priesthood... Hmmm, imagine that...seems those Pharisees do get around.   

Don't take any wooden nickels... Tom :^)
