  8. It's quite striking. You certainly have lots of religious structures in India! Probably not a lot of atheists, right?

  11. That is a surprise to see -- not typical of your country -- this seems like it could be anywhere, whereas your usual cathedrals are so beautiful and unique. But I appreciate learning that it exists there.
