***THE OFFERING II *** Photo

Photographer’s Note

The fortnight from Full Moon to New Moon in this particular month ...
For Hindus, its the time for ancestor worship and fulfilling their obligatory duties towards their ancestors ...which is called "TARPANA"... Tarpana is an act of remembrance, which solidifies the link between the generations. I dont know how I shall explain the meaning of Tarpana..The traditional ritual of Tarpana is complex, but its essence is simple.
The offerings(TARPANA) are said to reach all the dead relatives of the person who performs the rites.Tarpana is especially important for ancestors you knew personally.
If you loved them, you show them your love in the only way
remaining to you, by remembering them and offering part of yourself
to them as a token of your love.hope I can explain!!!!!!..

Hi Subir,
Amazing ! Great idea; the hands in the muddy water gives the impression of a modern artwork !
Nice idea very well realised. Very good notes and a perfect TE entry.

Hello Subir,
These hands, and the fish-shaped bowls, are so graceful. The hands speak so well, we do not need to see the faces.
A beautiful, sensitive shot.
Best wishes...Maggie

Great colours and interesting topic, but what a crop! Showing only the hands really is a masterstroke here. It creates an effect which is beautiful and alienating at the same time. Impressive work!

Subir- a very thoughtful shot showing the ritual...
I liked the tight frame here- just to incorporate only the necessary elements...
