India's Shrines  Bruce Percy, Portfolio 31
 
Compelling

All along my trip through Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, I was distracted by the multitude and variety of little statues to be found.

Sometimes in obvious sight, other times hidden below the nape of a tree in a small courtyard, many were adorned with garments or flowers.

Some I found in the sacred Pushkar lake. And some were just in the corner of a turn in a narrow alley way.

Religion is everywhere. I won't pretend to know the significance of these objects, and I guess in a way, that makes them more compelling to my western eyes.
