There is even a massive statue of The Buddha in the middle of Hussainsagar Lake. A few years back, The Buddha tried to vanish from the face of this bleak city (town?) by falling into the smelly polluted lake. But now he has been restored to his former glory, which he faces with stony silence.

I'm certian that there is a some sort of religious groups who set up these worship houses all over the places. Often these are placed very inconviniently on the sidewalk, so we need to step onto the road and face the wrath of irate motorists.

I have also noticed that all over India, Churches are demolished on a regular basis, by calling them illegal structures, without proper permits, but temples and mosques... God forbid. Usually you will see that these shrines have been constructed right next to a line of slums... Hmm, I wonder why?
