The Muthumariamman temple in Hanover (northern Germany). The temple was inaugurated in 1995 and has shrines for the goddess Muthumariamman, Vinayakar, Murugan and the Nine Planets. In the central shrine the priest carries out the offering of light at the evening puja. The shrine's entrance is protected by two female guardians with a cudgel [club, Keule?!]. Obviously, temples are not always filled by bhaktas and only during festive days many people flock the temple. (Nov. 1996).
