This Book Is Your Child’s Guide To The Amazing World Of Hindu Gods And Goddesses

What I thought would be a casual and regular outing, turned out more difficult than I would have imagined (or wished!) No, not a trekking adventure or something as dangerous as that. A simple visit to the temple with my daughter. An ancient one, at that, the visit to the temple turned into more of a quiz with all rapid fire questions being fired at me! She has seen the pictures of the deities at home and thanks to grandparents, she can identify a few of them. But the prodding and interrogations took a new form when she saw the idols, photos and the various fascinating aspects a temple can reveal! I could answer some of them, but for most of the questions, I neither had the answers nor the energy!
