Only in India?

Offerings to the Gods?
Offerings to the Gods?

I clicked this picture at the temple near Jagatsukh, the one where you have to keep climbing for an hour to reach. I was quite surprised to see the Bagpiper bottle on one of the windows with other offerings. I think it is mustard oil and not alcohol but what do I know! It happens only in India?

    Yup, It does happen. There’s a Kalbhairav temple in Ujjain where wine/liquor is the main offering!!
