Be to her, Persephone,
All the things I might not be:
Take her head upon your knee.
She that was so proud and wild,
Flippant, arrogant and free,
She that had no need of me,
Is a little lonely child
Lost in Hell,—Persephone,
Take her head upon your knee:
Say to her, "My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here."
Edna St. Vincent Millay

You would not usually see a prayer wheel inside out, but this one is pretty old and shows the fact we had heard only a little earlier, that the wheels actually contain prayers in their cylinder in a shape like on prayer flags. I was so far thinking it is only the script on the outside, which serves as the prayer lifted into the wind.

The entire time I stayed at the temple, this man was immersed in his Puja. He was having a 'homh' (prayer with fire burning) for the Devi. It must be a prayer for something or thanks for the granted prayer. His wife was reading the 'paatth' while his children (in western clothes!) were running around playing. He was intense though. And unlike his wife, he did not get distracted by people or my camera.
