Altars and symbols

In Kerala, not only were churches and shrines (Hindu & Christian) everywhere, but also symbols of communism were present.


In Ahmedabad, we noticed the patterns on the floor - now meant to bring an auspicious day, but originally, made of lime, were to keep the ants away.


And in the Parsee homes, I saw altars. Here's one with the candle burning that I saw in a sitting room, but in a kitchen I was surprised to see that even kitchen tiles display Zorastor.
