because of the diwali where we are playing the place to offer our gods we got it yeah they get sweet too yeah yes this is our understanding or this is our belief that the gods bless us the food first and that's what we consume and which god is this foreign and lakshmi is the name of the lord ah thank you do you feel it martha yeah i do it puts me in a good mood good looking thing should you put me on the market [Music] thank you very much just for you just for me look at that he knew my size and everything i didn't have to tell them absolutely yes god is lakshmi lakshmi in india you will find for each and everything we have different god so we're about to do puja right now i think it's kind of like a prayer or blessing i'm not really sure what we're going to do we're just going to follow along do you remember the name of all gods there's too many too many gods to know what we are doing right now this is right now where we kind of set up everything will be in the night pinky where is this this is called molly or we call lacha is for the good wishes usually we avoid black during the poojas that's why i gave you the colorful yes we were both wearing black and we read online that said you're supposed to wear black that's what i read you're supposed to wear black more auspicious occasions you always go for colors yeah we came in we came in full black today we came in full black today and we know what is this seven or nine chakras which we call the most powerful chakra is located between the eyebrows they applied they luck to tell you and remind you that the ultimate goal of life is divinity got it we will chant and meditate for five minutes then we will continue this in the evening so basically what we did was we invited god then the evening we will uh complete the puja okay [Music] and what is the chant saying so basically we are kind of bowing down to each of the different levels of godliness at higher up and getting their blessings right so we go down and eat some sweets and then you can decide [Music] [Music] we're feeding each other the food it's so fun [Music] [Laughter] all right let's get started making your bollywood movies now it's time to dance mark

purity halfway yeah i think you eat this chickpeas we call it chole oh i love chickpeas thank what i like about this is that it's it's different it's not your usual chicken tikka masala and samosa morgan you're blending right in still practicing eating with my hands being able to like get all the food into one good one do you ever use a fork or always with your hands temple time we're going to the temple to do puja again no i think it's more praying isn't that what pooch is okay we're still learning out here i'm marking on you notice i always say i don't like indian food i i have not had a single thing i i didn't like today so tonight we can do it turn on all the lamps nice and which temple are we going to uh jane temple jain temple yeah i've never been to really all right so we're here at the jain temple it's my first temple experience i didn't know what to expect and it's so peaceful in here [Music] what is this what do you do in the temple when you're inside i was about to say that we pray but we don't pray actually we meditate and we look inside actually we connect ourselves to the higher being or spiritual being [Music] what a beautiful temple so peaceful how's your mood changed oh it feels very serene you'll be feeling like lighter than you entered i think that's really nice not often that you don't talk you couldn't wait to say that we can go to a hindu temple right now yeah let's go so why are we going to this temple diwali yeah we're just going to go and pray to as many gods as we can yeah wish for the best luck yeah the gods yeah but it's not a jain this is not a gentleman [Music] so we're just visiting a bunch of temples and seeing how people you know pray and celebrate this special day and feels like i'm part of a of something this is this is something that people care about a lot this is a religion something that i don't associate with much so you decorate your floors with different colors and here you see the rice and different colors have been organized in a nice decorative manner what was it called again two temples how religious are you feeling it hasn't changed whenever my family would travel to different countries in asia like we'd always use temples my sister and i would be like oh not another temple but as i get older i start to appreciate it more this is my can right now i'm tired we have an exciting night ahead of us so

importantly culture what's specifically about culture because any country can say you know food is a big part and culture is a big part so culture is not defined by food it's a combination of as she's saying family being together respect it's a modern take on what it means to be indian i think is diversity the different cultures different people coming from different parts of the country but then coming together here it's less uh common in india because you're in your own bubbles but here i i see a lot of diversity that's what it means to be indian also we've just been having such a nice time
