Temples are social common places for group worship and prayers.They do not have any relationship to Ishvara Upasana.But people have the freedom.So they imagine that the Nandi statue can hear the worries they say in it's ears.A group of people will install stone or statue at a temple and conduct prayers there.Outside the room where this ceremony is done, common people will bring fruits, flowers, milk and ghee and keep it there.It will be taken and dropped on the Idol in the temple imagining in the mind that it is prasada and the devotees will eat the prasad.Such a system of temple upasana was formulated by our ancestors and is in place.Those who believe in this systems are present in large numbers.That is why temples like Tirupathi, Sabarimala and Guruvayoor makes lot of money.In Manjunatha temple, food is being served like a well oiled machine.In crowded places, chance of upasana to happen is rare.But chance is there for many other things to happen.Many pilgrims were dead due to
a place to burn the frustrations and share aspirations of Maneesh J
