Statues of Lord Ganesha, left, and Shirdi Sai Baba are seen at Broome Street Ganesha Temple in the Manhattan borough of New York on Sept. 14, 2023. Founded by yoga teacher Eddie Stern in 2001, the temple pitches itself not strictly as a Hindu house of worship but as a sanctuary where passersby can find a few minutes of peace amid the chaos of New York.
