People were grieving and lamenting on relative’s death. The scenario of ritual had turned completely upside down.

In Arya ghat, the wood was placed below the dead body and burned the body by torching fire on funeral pyres. The funeral pyre splitting, steaming, and thick pungent smoke ember into the blue sky makes it feel like a wave of heat consuming everything in its range and realizes how detached I was from the ritual of death. The priest stood holding a cup of tea nearby the fire and expecting the whole body transforms into ashes. People gathered together to watch the dead body burned. The experience was heartfelt and
1. I decided to visit the Hindu temple BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Atlanta in Lilburn, GA on April 12th, 2016. I have lived five minutes away from the temple ever since it was built. I was very excited to finally go inside and observe it. 2. When I first arrived at the temple, I had to go through gates. At the gate was a small building where a man sits. He asked me for my name and opened the gate for me (he also thought I was Hindu and was speaking to me in Hindu). I went at 10:00 in the morning

The first thing you see when you first walk in is three large circles with images inside

My husband and I attended The Hindu Temple of San Antonio on 18518 Bandera Road, Helotes, TX 78023.

A requirement for this course is to visit a mosque, Hindu or Sikh temple, or Synagogue.
