Shoes Off

It was not uncommon for temples to require the removal of shoes. However, I thought this one was unique because it was an outdoor temple and still had the same requirement. In general it seems that people in India were not as concerned about foot hygene as we are in the US. Here, if you don't have flip-flops for the gym you consider showering at home. There, people generally wear sandals and don't mind sharing the same temple floor with millions of other dusty, dirty feet.r
