Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple in Pondicherry. Located walking distance from the Auroville temple, which was packed with foreign visitors and had a decidedly more cultlike feel, this temple was locals only when I visited. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, I just so happened to visit at a time when I had a few "obstacles" that needed removing.

I'd seen pics of this little guy "Ferdinand" getting fed and played with for months before trip, so I was insistent we had to see him before leaving.
