Hindus worship both animate and inanimate objects. They find and see god in everything. They worship bells, shoes of great people, trees, birds, animals, snakes, stones, weapons, pictures and what not. Unless one knows the true meaning behind every ritual, it may look ridiculous to others. Tamil temples around the world carry Gods and Goddesses on different Vahanas that is metal or stone animals and birds, even trees (Karpaka Vrksha). This is in practice even today. Once it was practised around the world.

Many South Indian temples are associated with birds, animals and insects which show God liberates even lower creatures. All the Vahanas (Mounts of Gods) are explained in this book through articles written over years; now and then newspapers report animals visiting the temples and worshipping the god. Such newspaper stories are collected by me and explained here.
