View from above

A procession late at night to a temple, dragging on a pull-cart a deity adorned by massive floral garlands... God know what it was about, but there were a dozen kids dancing/prancing in front of the cart.
Ash loved the drums, but Mira was frightened by the petty crackers that caused much sound though no fury!

Thanks EB, his eye seems much better, but it was a good thing he thought of going to the dr. instead of just letting it pass.

I hope it stays ok. That was an interesting sight, I guess that is not the religion you practice?

I am a Christian - a Syrian Orthodox Christian at that, similar to the Russian and other Eastern Orthodox churches.
The procession was a Tamil Hindu one - there is a difference in the rituals and festivals of Hindus of each Indian State. I enjoy the rich diversity of our festivals, especially the Hindu ones though I dont observe them myself.

 If I thought I wouldnt be able to withstand the trauma of watching #Aadujeevitham / #Goat Life, a real-life survival drama starring Prithvi...
