Ghanaian following Hindu Religion.


This is the temple maintained by Ghanaians and they all follow Hindu religion. They are all well read and they know Hindi Bhajans they sing it on Harmonium. They perform Shiv ratri Puja whole night and it was a surprise and blessing for me as I am a ardent Shiva Follower.

1. Here these followers are praying and singing Bhajans.




2. Pujari is praying on Shiv Ratri, he is Ghanaian.
The temple also have a big Bel Tree and also Curry leaves tree..It also have a Peeple tree a big one..and I guess its the only Peeple tree in Ghana. The Temple also have Rose plants....from where I am going to bring some sticks for my Garden.




3. Inside of the Temple...Its serene and beautiful.




4. Swami Ghanand..He established the temple in 1975.





5. The name of the temple.





6. Ghanaian followers.


I will add another post on Natural Ghana and other things which we saw in our stay here.
