Pausing on the front steps of the Malibu Hindu Temple just up the road from the M*A*S*H site. It’s a two-tier complex dedicated to Shiva on the lower level and Venkateswara on its magnificent upper level—all bone-white stone and golden statuary, it really is like something airlifted out of southern India and randomly dropped in the middle of the Santa Monica Mountains.

Try not to think about the fact that it’s probably being best known in the wider world for Britney’s visit several years ago.
