Jim took this photo of Shiva and I after I was blessed in the temple. I think the priest got a little exuberant when he applied the splash of holy water as my bindi dripped red like a fresh wound.

I got some interesting looks that day from other Indians. I know it's somewhat common for non-Hindus to partake in some sort of a ceremony when they come to India and wear a bindi, but I still felt special.
