Religious places invoke anything but spirituality; when there are a hundred touts vying for your business, serpentine queues, at least 3 women cops touching you everywhere trying to figure the presence of a bomb and of course no time to pray really in front of the deity with crowds jostling you in and jostling you out!
But I suppose some things just need to be done in hope of divine intervention in your life. Single ikkat cotton saree, from Andhra, by master weaver Govardhana, on my way for darshan, at Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Benaras, before starting work for the day.
