Temple Visit 5/16

I visited the temple during an event celebrating Narasimha, the deity with the face of a lion. There was very loud music and chanting with enough incense burning that the air around the ballroom floor was hazy. A large shrine was on stage, consisting of a deity decorated with many flowers. When people entered the ballroom they would kneel or lay down in praise, and many people were dancing in place or stepping from side to side with the chanting. The event itself was of all ages, many kids were their with their parents, running around and enjoying themselves.
