Sri Maha Kataragama Devalaya - Kandy
Place of worship

After the prayer, they handed y...

Katukele Pillaiar kovil
Hindu temple
😠 The most outrageous and rasist experience I've had in this beautiful country. I was refused the entrance to the temple as I'm a foreigner. Really? I don't think any Gods were racist and the idea of any worship place is to unite, welcome and bless.
