Arrow Faith, different meaning to different individual

Hi,

Faith has different meaning for different people. Each place has different place in different people's mind and heart.

At Ambaji, Gabbar, a place at the border of Gujarat and Rajasthan, on top of the hill, faith has this meaning as described by one of the locals: "Married women tie set of bangles on this peepal tree (holy fig tree) for longevity of their husband's life".



Second photo is of my wife tying a set of bangles on the peepal tree. In the background you can see our son "Moonish", my father-in-law and mother-in-law.



Whether people believe it or not but the experience of witnessing a religious place and ceremony cleanses your mind
