To walk around the precinct was a serious matter here. The sun was beating down and the ground was very hot. Nevertheless, all prayers had to take off their footwears when they enter into the precinct.

So I had to take a barefoot walk. It looked like walking on a hot griddle. Yet some locals didn't think like me. Two persons were just praying while they were sitting on the hot ground. And I recall a proverb. Clear your mind of all mundane thoughts, and you will find even fire cool.
