Visiting a Hindu temple

Sibylle Meier

In a loose series, the reader is meant to learn about new customs or even religions. There's no shortage of ideas, but the challenge is finding people who celebrate the particular occasion and who come from the Zurich lowlands. A stroke of luck was the Hindu temple located in the industrial district of Opfikon, where they welcomed us very warmly.
