Traditional ritual of India, locally known as ‘Dondi’.
Descrizione
People go to the deity they worshiped with some personal wishes close to their hearts performing the ritual throughout the journey with the sole objective for their personal wishes to be fulfilled by the deity.The experience is very intense. Everyone participating begins by going into the Holy Ganges River. When they emerge they lie face down on the road along the path that leads to Ganges. Then they get up, walk a few feet, and lie face down again. This process is repeated down the mile long road to the River Ganges. Here the mother with her two son performing the dondi ritual on the eve of Shitala Puja. What strike me here is the innovative idea of keeping both the son safe with her was brilliant. A piece of cloth tied to each other so that they didn't get separate in between the large crowd.
