India: Parasurameswar Temple, Bhubaneshwar
Sheial: We’re at the Ginger Hotel. I can never say it this could take me all week to learn Bhubaneshwar. A cup of hot coffee while waiting to get checked in. Security is really, really tight since the Mumbai bombings and there’s a lot paper work.
People had them about veggie pizza later on. Very nice management, it’s a great hot black coffee.
Which temple is this?
Male: This is the Parasurameswar Temple. I will tell you once upon a time, there are as many temples were here in Bhubaneshwar but most of them have been destroyed or steal.
Sheila: He just told me that this is getting wild elephants.
Male: Yeah.

Sheila: It’s very interesting that’s the Buddhist influence here with the stupa but it’s a Shiva Hindu Temple. See how all the different influences from everywhere.
Male: Combined together you present a (00:01:40).
Sheila: Uh-huh, the female and male.
