Life around the temple 1.

Notice the man praying ,in front of him is the statue of the  cow in black and then we have the real cow and his owner .
Early morning . The Man with his sacred cow stops by the temple to get the blessings. 
Ladies buying trinkets from a cycle vendor
Beggars waiting for a devotee to give them some prasad /food. The temple is a life line for many people in india.
Afternoon locals setting around on the left reading a paper . The beggars on the right. The vegetable vendor and the vada pav makers stall . 

In the morning an old man comes to the vada pav stall and orderes about 50 vada pavs and feeds the poor . This is sometimes the only mean for many poor school girls who come in the morning. This guy has been feeding the poor for many year (15 years ?)
