    The Hare Krishna temple is a very interesting location to observe. The grounds are very large, and the temple itself is beautiful. There is a sort of corral next to the temple that houses a few different types of animals, mainly llamas. These animals are considered holy to the Hindus. There is also a large gazebo where they hold festivals outside during the summer time. The temple itself is by far the most striking feature though. The front has a large staircase that leads up to the main entrance. There are also four tower type things on the four corners of the temple with large rounded steeples on the top. The steeples are painted gold and are very beautiful. The rest of the temple is painted white. The first floor of the temple is a type of gift shop that sells all types of Hindu and oriental objects. There is also a parrot in a cage in the corner of the shop. I thought this was interesting, but unfortunately nobody seemed to know why the parrot was there.…
