The temples of India are powerhouses of energy. Be it the divine feminine who looks over the world while destroying evil, or the divine energies of Lord Vishnu who is charming as a young boy and fierce as the Narsimha form, Hindu gods and goddesses have come forth in different avatars at different points in time.
