Chaturbhuj Temple

  • August 30, 2000
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Joel from Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium
Enjoy the peaceful silence on a bench on the courtyard in front of the Ram Raja Temple. A holy man - almost naked, with long black hair and a painted face - is walking circles around the temple. There's a ceremony going on within this pink house of God. You can buy cold mineral water - it's very hot here - and some small bronze statues - as souvenirs - in the small bazaar, which is nothing more than a few narrow streets, before you enter the Chaturbhuj Temple, a few steps from the Ram Raja Temple courtyard. Climb up one of the corner staircases - steep and uneven - which lead up, by stages, to the very top of the temple. On the third level you can decide to access the tiny balconies which provide privilegd seating and a good view over the centre of the village. Two little boys have followed us. As we sit to play cards we give them some Rupees to get us some cold drinks. A few minutes later they return with five cold Pepsi Colas. Of course, they can keep the change.
