Hello everyone. I'm new here. I need to start worshipping Shiva (Ganesha too) but I'm a newbie. I cannot find anything about hinduism in the country I live so I think altars will not work, right? I mean I can't find Ganges Water, no hindu beads and no idols. Would a printed picture also work instead of an idol? Because many people say they are not as effective. Sure I can order idols, ganges water and beads from ebay but many of them don't ship here and are expensive. Please help me!
