Worshiping mess

Colours, spices, milk, coconuts, flowers, sweets and what not are used as offerings to the multitude of Hindu gods. In many temples and shrines one can see that devotees like making a mess of it. A holy mess.
With a little paint and a bit of good will a stone can be transformed into a god. And suddenly Hanuman is watching you.
