Fresh Paint At Kuil Shri Mariamman In Medan

Hindu temples are a riot of bright colors and fancy figures. Typically, temples can be more than a hundred years old yet they're kept fresh by being repainted every 12 years or so. Upkeep for your God.

Kuil Shri Mariamman in Medan was finishing up a renovation in the spring of 2019 and the place was looking spanking new.

Scaffolding still up around the main gopuram.


Above the main door. Donkey drummer.

Ganesh and friend.


A chunky Frida Kahlo? It's not just the paint work that's impressive, it's the high relief, 3D frieze work.

Holy arf.
