Mandirs

Hindus often use objects to help them ‘see’ God. Many of the statues that they use in their mandirs are thought to represent God.

In 2010, I revisited these colonies to see what thirteen years had brought to the mandirs planned for these new middle-class environments.

Perhaps Mulhar Rao made the smaller mandirs, and has got credit for the whole, by the judicious appropriation of a small fund, to the support of poor brahmans, ten of whom are daily fed at Ank-pát in his name.
