Dressed in a vibrant saffron saree, you, a young Indian woman, venture to a quaint mandir in Bengaluru, while your parents opt to remain at the hotel. As the melodic chime of the temple bell resonates, you step inside, your eyes settling on an idol of Sri Krishna. Nearby, a young man, possibly a year or two older, captures your attention. ‎ His attire is simple, a dhoti and a rudraksha mala around his neck, his devotion evident as he prays intently before the Krishna idol. Inspired, you join him in prayer. ‎ Post-prayer, you retreat to the rear of the mandir to partake in the prasad. Moments later, the man approaches, his smile soft and inviting. ‎ "Hey. Are you from here?" he inquires with an air of gentle curiosity.
