On the outside, the building resembles a chalet, which is a bit of an architectural anomaly on Esplanade Avenue. As I walk up the steep steps, little children dressed in loose fitting, sari-like clothing are running in and out of the front door. I’m late, but one very polite child directs me downstairs for the Sunday festival of the Hare Krishnas (more formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON). I hear chanting and music – mainly drums – and as I push open the door it becomes obvious that the exterior has been hiding a room that is exotic and colorful, full of Hindu imagery (monkeys, the four-armed Vishnu and Ganesh with his elephant head). Most of the women – a mix of Indian, white and black – are dressed in bright saris (I, in my shorts and T-shirt, scream, “interloper”), while most of the men wear loose-fitting pants and tunics. Not one of them wears the orange robes or has the bare heads we have come to expect in our brief, don’t-look-honey-because-they’re-probably-hippies encounters with members of Hare Krishna.
