Trip to a Hindu temple

A little while ago, we went to visit a Hindu temple with our friend Kamuni and her family. It was our first time! We were so amazed by the beauty of the temple and really enjoyed learning more about the Hindu faith and how the people worship. Here are some photos from our time there. We couldn't take any photos inside, but trust me, it was sooooo beautiful :)
This is Kamuni and her daughter Minu. She's 3 years old. We became really good friends, and even though she doesn't talk much and I talk my own Sofi-language, we were still able to understand each other and have a lot of fun! On the car ride there, we were playing peek-a-boo with the same blanket we found in the back seat :)
Papa enjoyed going there too, since he's an architecture buff. He was impressed. Doesn't he look handsome here?!
I took some time to reflect on the meaning of life...


... and the meaning of "do not enter".... hmmmm....

... I guess it DIDN'T mean, come jump in the small fountain pool because mama screamed NO! when I got ready to jump in...
