Faces VI (Among the Five Thousand)
A brief, informal survey was conducted a few days ago to try and estimate the number of people who visit Janabahaa every day. Exactly 137 people entered Janabahaa between 4:45 pm and 5:15 pm from the main gate, and 24 people entered from the back gate in the western side. Assuming this traffic to be the average flow of people passing through Janabahaa from 5 am to 9 pm, we arrive at over five thousand people per day! That too on a day when no festivals or special ceremonies occur. That is a lot of visitors for a single location.
