The Godchild

Nameet Potnis

His name is Balaji. He stays in Madras, India.

Balaji is a Godchild, these children travel all over the country in bunches worshiping the Lord Narsmiha for a certain period, they stay in the temples and are considered holy.

Everyday that i saw met him, he smiled offered me prasad and then walked away, oblivious to the camera.. must also mention is is extremely mature for his age
