Most Indians worship rivers as givers of life, and local guides will gladly sing in praise of the river goddess to set you in the mood for some quiet contemplation. Providing, of course, you haven't had too many cups of coffee...
...have been many modern churches before this one. Even so, the L.A. cathedral, the first to be built in the U.S. in 25 years, is a signal event: a sign that the cleansing operation of modern architecture has been embraced for one of the most ambitious places of Catholic worship of the new century...
