Indian temple in stockholm

It was really nice weather hehe, and we visited the biggest Indian temple here in stockholm with some of the AIESEC members:) One of the guys are from Indian, and it made the trip much more fun. It was really nice to talk about Indian cultures and it was also good to get some free Indian food!:D

A guy in orange was sitting in front and saying something in Hindu, and he seemed to be really excited, and I had NO IDEA what he was talking about...
An Indian girl preying
We met a funny dutch guy there who converted himself to Hinduism. Oh, he was so passionate when he even just mentions it. He was really proud of his hair which obviously shows his religious belief. According to him, his family abandoned him because of he was not Christian any more. It seemed to be a weird story for me, but at the same time I felt quite sad for him. I guess you always have to sacrifice your past to be special, and I appreciate people who have the courage to do so:)
Getting fruits and some Indian sweets. The sweets taste awesome;)
The free food we got. It was spicy really tasty! The people in the temple was extremely hospitable and you even get as much food as you want. I've never thought there would be somewhere like this here in stockholm heh..
Our group. Too bad the Indian guy was not there:P He was the one who was taking this picture.
