A wealthy, God-loving man wanted to build a building where people could come together and mingle. Thus, he built a temple where different people could come and pray. However, he realized that only Hindus came to the temple. This made him unhappy, so he built a beautiful mosque. But only Muslims came to the mosque. The man's wish for people of all religions to come to visit the temple was not fulfilled. A friend suggested that he build a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and grass. When the man built such a garden, people of all kinds - Hindus, Muslims, Christians, young and old, men, women and children - came to the garden. This strengthened the common harmony between people.
