Hindu Temples

We spent a whole day going to different Hindu Temples. It was very interesting and it was fun to have Vijay with us so that he could tell us all the stories and explain their believes. There are a ton of different temples and they are all very neat and pretty in their own ways. Here are a couple of the ones that we went to.

This is Sheva, he is the dad to Ganesh which is in the picture below. There is a big long story about how Ganesh got an Elephant head, but it is to long to tell.
(If you look really close you can see me, Kerri and Katie standing in front of the temple)

This is Ganesh. After getting his elephant head he turned into a God.


Just another Temple



Another temple (God) but I can't remember what his name is or the story behind it.

His name is Hanuman, and he's a monkey god. Vijay said that this statue is 80 feet tall.
