Most of the news or reports we read are about how important international students are to the finances of North American post secondary institutions. And so it grabbed our attention when we came across a story about a temple in India where those applying to visas (mostly to the US for work or study) visit to make rounds before going in for their interview. Part of the deal is a pledge that if their visa is granted, the successful applicant will return to the temple to make 108 rounds.
