Talking of temples, I thought I'll mention that there is a Hindu temple located in Calabasa - the building itself reflects South Indian style of architectecture. The central structure was cast in India in peices and shipped over and then 'assembled' together. It is worth a visit just to view the architecture. It is located on Las Virgenes drive, about couple of miles from 101 freeway going towards Malibu. You have to be on the lookout for it on your left because it suddenly comes up around a turn on the road.
If your kids visit Little India in Artesia, I think a visit to a gold jewellery shop is going to 'wow' the visitors. Indians are very much into buying 22 and 24 carat gold jewellry so there is a lot of art that one can view in the jewellry shops there.
(By the way, sorry about the photos of the Chinese Friendship Garden, Sydney, not downloading - I'll try to fix it and repost it)
