A trip to the temple

by Konstantin W.

On the first day of our journey, my exchange Student and his mom brought me to two temples. The first temple, called the Mata Rani temple is dedicated to many different gods like Ganesha, Ram and Shiv Ji. We also read about the gods representing the solar system and standing for each day of the week.

There was a huge shivling wich is a symbol for praying for lord shiva. It’s a giant metal rock where water from a pot drops regularly onto to cool the anger of Shiv Ji. The second one is devoted to Sai Baba, he was a devotee of god. He was very wise and it is said, that he healed everything he touched. We also offered money for donations and also got prashad, wich are little snacks, mostly sweet and they are given to the people who pray to the gods as a form of a blessing.

It felt differently nice. I am really happy to experienced that.
