Special Mom’s blog

We are in Eastern Pennsylvania this weekend for a private function.

On Friday, when I wrote a blog post, I wrote I had planned on something for Sunday morning. Yes, apart from the private event, I wanted to do something with my family.

I had seen a facebook reel about a second largest temple in the world that had been built in Southern New Jersey. I checked the website and saw they had a time entry, the only slot available was at 9.30 am. We had to leave 2 hrs early. 7.30 am on a Sunday morning was hard and that too we were traveling. My husband said, if our boy cooperates and sleeps through the night, we could make the trip.

Things did work out and today morning we made the trip to Swami Narayanan Temple near Trenton, New Jersey!

Oh, little did we know the magnitude of the place or the size of the crowd. There were specific boards flashing saying unless you have a reservation, entry would be denied!

Photography is denied in many places and with the hot sun shining , our family tried to capture the vastness of the place.

By the way, heard great things about their cafe and that is why I made the decision to go there. But did not expect this crowd. If I had thought twice, I would not have made this trip and would have completely missed!

Sometimes ignorance is bliss and not everything needs to be researched and planned😊!

When we left place around noon, it was so crowded and we were glad, we got the 9.30 entry. We would not have survived any other time!
