SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, USA, July 29, 2003: Several people stood Sunday morning near the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Scottsdale holding signs directed at a Hindu celebration across the street. The Hindu Temple of Arizona was celebrating the last day of its Ratha-Yatra festival by pulling a chariot down Hayden Road when several people appeared with signs bearing messages about Jesus being the only deity. The Rev. Brian Murphy, pastor of the church, said he does not know who the people holding signs were. He said they were not members of the church. Dinesh Updhyaya, the Hindu priest at the temple, said no one at the temple seemed angered by the protesters. It was quite peaceful,” Updhyaya said. “Everyone is allowed their religion.”
