On a footpath to a little temple, Orissa

Our driver knew of a nice temple in a little village. We had to park about 1/2 km away and walk to this temple. Along the path were these "tulsi kattes." These are elaborate pots that hold the tulsi plant. The tulsi plant is considered holy for Hindus. Its in the same family as basil. The temple typically does not allow non-Hindu's. Blake declared himself a Hindu (because of his thread) and was let in.
