But this time it's about the cool stuff inside. I'm gonna share some pics and stories about the gods.
This temple, called Shri Bhagwan Ardhanarishwar Temple[//]:# (!pinmapple 29.92154 lat 78.14003 long d3scr), is super beautiful, with an ashram too. Inside, i found portraits of different forms of Lord Vishnu, called Avatars. It's amazing to see how Vishnu takes on different forms to protect and guide us.
Now, let's talk a bit about these avatars of Lord Vishnu:
