  2. Everytime I visit Assam, I try to make one visit to Kamakhya and am always enamoured by its power to draw people from far and wide. Nice picture of its characteristic dome.

    1. Thanks Chintan. In the northeast this temple is very famous. I had heard of it during my childhood, during my summer holidays in West Bengal..
      You are right, to be able to travel is a beautiful gift! :)

  5. Wonder where has all the openness and maturity gone from our societies of today, where we pray in temples but shudder to talk about it in public.

    1. Unfortunately you are right. We have temples that denotre much greater openess in showing about such issues but for the society they have become taboo!
