Shiva Temple

Shiva Temple

my first visit of a Hindu Template ever, learning about the oldest religion

Location: 

Lord Shiva Temple, Mombasa, Kenya

Duration: 

Sunday, July 10, 2016

Personal highlights

  1. Lord Shiva: the creator, preserver, destroyer, revealer and concealer of all that is
  2. Shaivism: one of four variations of Hinduism, probably the oldest religion on earth
  3. Hindu Temple: my first Hindu Temple, exciting, but I should have read the inscriptions
  4. School Class: young Kenyan girls and boys learning about Hindu religion (I guess)
  5. Open Doors: what a positive surprise, just being able to walk in and look around
