44 - 29th - The "Blue" God


Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 29th Jan'08

City of Delhi, as almost all other cities in India, is full of big and small temples. At every second corner and on every third street you can find some fourth god glorifying the place. The idols vary in shapes and sizes and so do the temple premises. Given the variety in the forms Hindus have given to their faith, you can find a potpourri of different divine residences.

I found one such temple on one of the back-streets of east Delhi. Instead of sitting "inside" the temple, I found this magnificent figure of Lord Siva blessing the mere mortals in and around the place.
