We built this city on.......Temples

We had the pleasure to go into Dehli and experience the religious culture and history. This aspect most likely won't be included in the documentary, but I think it is just a bunch of really cool shit. Juan, my vato, took these photos on our journey that day. Here is some combined information from us recapping the eventful day.

Today we visited the Chattarpur Temple and it was beautiful. We could not take photos while in the temple, only outside. The temples are really detailed, and it is hard to imagine the amount of work it takes to create them. The entire place was like a city of temples as if you were somewhere else in the world. John describes it as a heaven and it really seemed as if it was a heaven for those people. We had to take off our shoes and while walking inside the city of temples and are feet became hot from the sun's intense rays hitting the floor. So we were rushing to enter one temple to the next. Inside there were life size Hindu gods with the skin of gold. It was awesome and hard to grasp at the same time. The thrones had extravagant details and the gods were dressed beautifully and the Hindu people would add more decorations to them in respect for their Gods. Too bad we couldn't take photos to show you.

There was a huge monkey god-like figure named Hanuman in the middle of the city. It was awesome and seemed like we were at the feet of a living giant. He had a significant story in Hindu culture, but we couldn't recall it exactly because of eveything else we imbibed that day. The mother god also had a detailed bedroom. It was as if the gods sit in their throne waiting to become alive. The atmosphere felt calm and peaceful in the city of temples. The contrast to the crazy city life is amazing that is just a few feet away.

We also visited another site which was Qutb Minar and it was an area that was in ruins. I love walking in the past. I love to imagine the past and how wonderful and peaceful it must have been during the time when the civilization was in its prime and before capitalism stepped in. The site is notable for being one of the earliest and most prominent examples if indo-Islamic architecture. The site was destroyed and the stones used to build other sites. The tower has so much details, it's amazing. You can see that the top is slightly altered than the rest of the structure. That is because it was struck by lighting twice and both times the top two parts of the tower crashed to the ground!

We also visited a Sai Baba Temple who was a holy man in India. Below are photos from the temple. Our driver (We call him Sing-is-King!) took us to the temple because he holds Baba true to his heart because Baba has helped him through a very difficult time in his life. Our driver is a very nice man who is always joyful and has one of the most optimistic outlooks on life.
