I would like to describe this wonderful picture. It was taken by me while I was walking through a temple village in the town of Madurai (India). For me this picture shows and describes a lot of things such as peace and calm. India is one of the most peaceful countries of the world; the people there are so handsome and nice that sometimes you feel like a god for them.
In this place people go to pray, to meditate, to have a family lunch or just go to have a walk and calm down after a hard working day. When you visit such an enormous place all full with little and big temples you feel like as if you where in a fantasy story. The best of all is that all these buildings are hundreds of years old and most of them are on a perfect condition. These temples are very important for the local and foreign people; this is why they keep in this good condition.
The most amazing thing is that you can spend hours and hours visiting these places and you never get bored or tired. In my opinion they have some magic and this is why they are so impressive.
When I first saw this kind of temples, the first thing I wanted to know was: What is in there and why do people really go there every day? The answer to this question is very simple, in these places there is normally one of the many gods that the Hinduism has. This is why there are so many temples, each one has one god. The local people are very religious and this is why they spend so much time in them.
Once every week, there is a ceremony which is carried out by a Sadu. It is an important religious man who walks all around India without anything, they only pray and eat the food that people prepare for them when they arrive in a town or village. They have no money and some even have no clothes, they are also famous because they have all the face painted with red and white colours.
I really recommend this country to everyone because I think that if you go there when you go back home, you will never forget it.
finally!!! it wasn't that easy :)
