After settling in at the hotel we took a stroll out this morning to become familiar with the local area. We were reminded immediately how busy (and dangerous!) the roads can be.
A busy shrine to the Hindu god Brahma was located on the corner, where people were burning incense as well as giving garlands of flowers and other offerings. Some musicians and singers were in a small alcove, and people were paying a small sum to join them in prayer.
Almost next door was what might be seen as a contrasting Western “shrine”.
