Lord Hanuman, also known as Bajrang Bali, is known for his undying devotion to Lord Rama (an incarnation of God Vishnu and of the Hare Rama Hare Krishna fame). Every tuesday thousands of Indians (everything here is done by thousands of Indians) go to the temple to worship him. It is a short visit, but one that keeps people grounded in the religion with little investment. There are many such opportunities and people choose the ones that most appeal to them.
As is customary, the devotees purchase small offerrings to serve at the alter before they come to the temple. A portion of these are then returned to the worshippers so that they may share and eat them alike as they have been blessed. Since most of these offerings are sweet, enter the children. One always receives them in a cupped right hand, with the left hand respectfully held under it.
Of course, the photographer was distracting!
