Following the Equator
Part 6

CHAPTER LI
18/27

That temple is in a lane back of the Cow Temple.

Over the door is a red image of Ganesh of the elephant head, son and heir of Shiva, and Prince of Wales to the Theological Monarchy, so to speak.

Within is a god whose office it is to record your pilgrimage and be responsible for you.

You will not see him, but you will see a Brahmin who will attend to the matter and take the money.

If he should forget to collect the money, you can remind him.
