temples


The other day I visited all the Temples in Manali. I really enjoyed being allowed in the Temple, I got to see all of their different god as well learn how to pray to their gods. I had to wear a shawl over my head to go inside, once you were done praying your head was marked with red paint. It was really cool and great exposure to their culture and religion. I also went to the biggest temple in old Manali, I had to wait in line to get in and once you were allowed to enter the temple you went up to god at this temple and touched her feet. Touching a gods feet is a sign of respect and acknowledgement of her power. After visiting this temple you are then required to go to the open tree temple to make your visit count. If you go to both temples then this god will grant you one wish! The only catch is you must go to both temples and you have to desire your wish with all your heart.  I only had one wish so I had to think about it for a while to make sure it was good enough. In the end I think I made a great wish.
