Surreal Hinduism

City: Amritsar, India
Weather: 98°, sunny
Site: Mandir Mata lal Devi
Activity: Confusion

 

This strange Hindu temple is the mother of all eccentric, sacred places. People are directed through this multi story labarynth of hindu iconography. We climbed through mouths, walked through tunnels and bridges. Lots of mirror and gold and neon light. The whole time their is chanting rising up from the main space below. It’s not a pretty place but it’s one of the stranger, more trippy places I’ve been to.
