When one visits a mandir, he or she goes there for 'darshan,' which loosely translated means 'seeing' the sacred
murtis (images of God). However, to a Hindu it has a more profound meaning where it implies being in close proximity
with God and beholding His divine form. ‘Murti puja,’ has always been synonymous with the Hindu tradition and
for thousands of years, Hindus have practiced the adoration and reverence of sacred murtis as a form of devotion.

Great shot and I like the contrast between the cold colours of the marble and the golden light of the temple inside.

Must get very dusty and dirty!! I have enough trouble with smooth walls and plain architraves in my house :)
