Kali Kali

Kali 

Deity "Kali" is stepping on Shiva´s body. She is the power of destruction and the symbol for the "Kalka"-period which is now a very dark age where people are cheating at each other and faith is only known from a dictionary. After that time period the Hindus believe that everything will be renewed in space and the golden age will appear again. It´s only a question of thousands of years.

Durfte man in dem Tempel fotografieren? Ich war mal in einem, da war es verboten. Hab`s dennoch heimlich versucht, aber der "Aufseher" hat es gemerkt und dann gleich mit mir geschimpft ;-)

ja, in diesem tempel, der ein wenig an disneyland erinnerte, also den charakter eines vergnügungsparks hatte, haben auch die Hindus fotografiert. alle besonders die frauen erhofften sich den kindersegen nach besuch des tempels, da er der göttin der fruchtbarkeit geweiht war.
