Mangalore

Well, so I was only in lovely Mangalore for a day and most of that was spent at a wedding. I was visiting the main Hindu temple in town and the uncle of the bride of a wedding that was going on invited me to stay and photograph it. So, there are many photographs of two people I have never met and will likely never see again in this gallery. Still, I was honored to have been invited and it was fascinating. Imagine an Indian with a camera wandering into a church where a wedding was going on in the US. He'd probably be arrested.
