 VISIT TO LITTLE INDIA! 
( FOR SOTA. DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POST!)
:D

This is a summary of what we saw and learnt during our trip to little india.  
Enjoy.

Henna 
In the past, henna was used by ladies getting married, getting engaged and other important occasions and events. But now, henna is getting popular among people of all ages and races and can be used anytime.
 

Garland 
During our trip, we learnt that the jasmines on the garland represent peace and the roses represent love.
They are also used for welcoming people and used during funerals.
  

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple
Before entering this temple, hindus are required to remove their footwear.  They must also walk round clockwise and only in odd numbers. When hindus enter the temple, they ring a bell to let the gods know that they have entered and ring the bell again before they leave to let the gods know they are leaving. Ringing the bell also gives the person good luck. The main focus of every temple will be the the god you see the moment you step into the temple. God Kali Amman is the main focus of the temple.
 


Fortune told by a parakeet
Parakeets are let out of their cages to pick an envelope. Inside the envelope is the persons fortune.

Little India Arcade 
This place sells all kinds of indian accessories and goodies.  

Hope you've learnt something through this little summary. 
WITH LOVE CARE AND CONCERN!
