If you visit the Krishna Temple, you will be greeted by friendly people and asked to take your shoes off. We checked out their cool gift shop first, before heading upstairs as they told us we could. A man walked us up to give us the tour, in which some other tourists and their kids joined us for. Wow! What a tour! We got a ton of information, though I couldn't understand most of it. We got to see some idols, where they worshiped, and a wax figure of their holy leader. Our tour guide gave us each a blessing and a dot on our forehead. He also had us drink some holy water!
We were so confused by that point, that when he asked if we'd play some music with him we were like, "why not?" He sang while we played various instruments. It was highly entertaining!
We played several songs that all sounded a little bit different, but had the same lyrics. It would be interesting to know what he was singing about!
So there was our Krishna Temple experience! An experience to say the least! I love visiting temples and churches and learning about how other people worship. We don't get a huge variety here in Utah County, so this temple is really a hidden gem!
We had a ton of fun there, and you really should go check it out if you get a chance. The tours are free (though we were happy to find a donation box, since our guide was so good!) and they let you see everything. We also enjoyed exploring around outside, visiting their animals and their pond where they had a speaker playing the Pink Panther theme.
