Of gods.... India

Jain faith diverged from Buddhism around 2000 years ago. Jains eat no living thing; the do not even eat root vegetables, as insects may be harmed when harvesting them. They wear masks so as not to kill insects, and brush the ground in front of them with a broom to avoid walking on them. These very old temples are untouristed, neglected and very beautiful. Their god statues are usually naked.
