“I was amused to see a Siva temple with a large banyan tree. Mr. Viswanath had written in the post: “Don’t be surprised, this calm and beautiful temple is situated in Lakshadweep, which has 99% Muslim population. It is more spacious than some of the mosques on the island.”Those who have “99% majority” on the Lakshadweep Islands never felt like encroaching upon or demolishing this space. That shows the large-heartedness and camaraderie of the islanders, who hold the 1% population together with them, Mr. Viswanath wrote. The post was accompanied by a picture of the entrance to the temple.
