Birthday celebration for Hindu deity, Ganesha (Ganesh Cha Thurthi)
Out of pure curiosity I had gone to the nearest Hindu temple I knew of to see what it was like. I didn't see anyone around and decided to explore by myself. However, I was frightened at the sight of a statue and I quickly ran. Picture the scene where Snow White is alone in the forest and begins to see things and runs frantically about only instead of falling to the ground, I safely got into my car. Not one to admit defeat I returned...two months later, but I returned. I parked and saw nobody around but I knew there must be people inside the temple. I walked around and didn't see anyone. I walked to the place where I had seen the statue; I wanted to face what frightened me. It was Shiva staring at me from a glass window! I had seen him in pictures while studying mythology before. Just then I heard a "Hey!" behind me. I was glad to see a live human when I turned around. Had I seen another statue I would've sworn the place off! He was an aide and he kindly inform
