People who grew up in India are familiar with Family deities/kul devata.
While growing up as kids, you visit, believe in and worship your family deity. But, after your marriage, if you happen to be a woman, your family deity/temple is bound to change. Most probably you would follow your husband's family traditions, and visit your husband's family temple. Do you stop visiting your parents' family deity temple, or do you believe in both, and find a balance? This isn't a trick question. This is just one of those questions/thoughts that I had had for many years. Certain questions annoy parents, and you don't get answers that sound fair. I don't get a chance to visit my parent's temple when I visit India, although no one forbids me from visiting. :)
