From the photographer:

I was quite surprised to find a group of Sikhs (?) using this public spot as a place of worship. But in the serenity of the morning, it seemed entirely appropriate.

I don’t think prayer always has to happen in such serene places, but it’s a blessing to participants and to bystanders when it does.

Prayers in Public posts are media that capture intentions offered and/or the process of offering them. While Creative Commons Prayer is primarily a Christian site, Prayers in Public posts give us the chance to be inspired by the devotion of people of all faiths.
