Sam's POV:

We get off the cars, at the entrance of the Siddhivinayak temple. I asked the boys to tag along, so after darshan I can take them around the city for sightseeing.

"Are kaha he ye ladki!*" (*where is this girl) Ma says, Meera and her girlfriend are going to come here directly then go home with us.

Speak of the devil, Meera's car stops in front of us. "Sorry thoda late ho gaya.*" (*sorry I got a little late) she says getting off the car and immediately opens the passenger door for her girlfriend.

Meera sees me and jumps onto me. "Di!*" (*elder sister) I hug her and we exchange greetings. She turns to her right and yells. "Holy..." But stops when Ma glares at her. "BTS! " She says hushed looking at me. I nod at her smiling. "Omo, oh my god oppas. Taehyung oppa can I have your autograph?.... Shit so rude of me,... " She wipes her hand on her dupatta and pushes it forward, "... Hi am Meera Gupte, Jay's cousin from mausi…I mean from his mother's side. And this is my girlfriend Neha. So glad to meet you. "

Tae smiles at her and shakes her hand. "Glad to meet you. " He says. I smile looking at them all interacting well.

"Di, kidnap karke laye ho kya in sabko?*" (*Sis,Did you bring them all by kidnapping?) Meera whispers in my ear. She's new army and so cute. I laugh at her and pull her cheek. "Nahi."

She pouts at me but smiles soon.

"Chale?*" (*shall we go?) Ma asks, seemingly a bit annoyed as we are wasting time. We nod and head in.

Namjoon's POV:

The temple is magnificently built, I see so many people crowded at the common entrance. So many devotees, people here are really believers.

"Hyung the interiors are so beautiful. " Jungkook says, who is standing behind me in line. "Yes! " I agree with him.

"This temple worships Lord Ganesha, the elephant God, the lord of art, science and wisdom." Saanjh says as we move in line. "Elephant god? " Jin hyung asks. "Yes, He has the head of an elephant. " Sh answers. "Interesting." Taehyung says. "How? " Hobi asks. "Long tale, his father Lord Shiva had cut it off with his Trident, it was unintentional as he didn't know he was his son. Devi Paravati was devastated and asked her husband to bring him back, so Lord Shiva got an elephant's head and attached it to the body. " She tells. Wow. " Woah! " Jimin says mesmerised. Indian mythology is really unique.

I look at her and smile. "Am not much of a believer myself but don't mind celebrating festivals and visiting temples, it's fun. " She says. I nod at her understanding. I see her walk carefully bare footed, we aren't allowed footwear in temples as it's offensive. She's holding a copper plate in her hand with oil lamps, flowers, incense sticks, some fruits, coconut and red and yellow powder, what she called haldi-kumkum. Her white shawl dangling off her neck paired with a maroon long top and pants. She looks good in this getup.
