Next stop, a spectacular Hindu stone temple in the middle of a very, very poor neighborhood of Colombo. We never would have found this place without Faezer. This is a second century temple that has stood the centuries of time by worshippers repainting and smoothing out the hooves of a bull, a tit of a woman, a horn of a goat.
The shared walled apartments are within ten feet of the temple and day to day tasks of cooking, brushing teeth, laundry are taken care of in the street for lack of space and privacy.
Faezer says there are 2,405 Hindu gods. This is the start of a very long five month trip filled with gods, ancestors, and worship.
