Don - Ujjain
Made by Elishams
Feeding the poor is one of the injonction of hinduism. It's a way to feel peace with belly, with one's bank account, and more widly with the Universe… Here a group of lady came to distribute flour. You can see a cow quite interrested, she'll have her share too *-* _________________________________________________________________ Le don est l'une des injonctions de l'hinduisme. Nourrir les pauvres est une façon de se sentir en paix avec son propre ventre, en paix avec son compte en banque, en paix avec le monde… Ici des femmes sont venues sur les ghat d'Ujjain avec un sac de farine qu'elles distribuent à la poignée. On distingue une vache qui s'approche, très intéressée… Elle aura sa part aussi *-*

I wish it was more sharp... I was lost in the beauty of the sunset activities along the river Kshipra in Ujjain, when I suddenly remembered my camera… Wishes of shanti to all, peace, peace…
