INSIDE THE TEMPLE
THE SITE: This seems like an unlikely place for the gods and goddesses from different cultures to reside but this is the place they have chosen. They all have different reasons for being here but they live in harmony. One is never quite sure what adventure lurks around the corner or when another resin member will come to stay.
