"Me Tourist, You Jain"

Jain temples in Jaisalmer
This is a swastika made of rice with ants eating the middle. Jain temples are full of insects, snakes, and other things because Jains believe in the preservation of all life. For those of you back home, the swastika is a sacred symbol that means "good luck and well-being." I just thought I'd clear that up.
