Visiting the Meenakshi Aman Temple
The other day we got to visit the Meenakshi Aman temple, which was a worthwhile sight and experience, but it was bittersweet because not all of us were allowed in. Part way through our tour of the place, I realized that our friend Ayan wasn’t there. She is Muslim, and they didn’t let her in because she refused to take off her Hijab, something none of us had considered before arriving at the temple. I think she managed to still have a good time, and so did we, but it felt bad not moving as a group. It did bring up some interesting and passionate conversation however, which has been going on a lot recently.
