Janmashtami Festival

Yesterday I spent a few hours with the wonderful Hindu community of the Bhaktivedanta Manor Temple in Hertfordshire, as they marked Janmashtami- celebrating the birth of Krishna. The temple is the UK headquarters of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness and the event is the largest Hindu gathering outside of India. I'm fascinated by religion and politics, so this was a lovely day out with some bright photo opportunities.
