Indians are deeply religious people. This is evident when you visit the indian shops in Little India in Singapore. In every Indian business you will see an altar in the store. This is usually just behind the cashier. In some cases when the store is outdoor then you see a mini altar on the roadside like the one here. So is this just superstitious? That you want to place an idol next to the cash register to ensure wealth and protection? Since Hinduism believes God is everywhere and in everything - in the plant, animals and humans - why do you need to put an altar with an idol? Simply because it is a nice reminder and a wonderful way to bring the spiritual into your business and be guided by God. Some of the top Indian businessman I know are deeply spiritual - in fact it shows on their face. They have a great energy about them and are generally very stoic. They understand the ebb and flow of business and their faith in God sees them through.
