Girl closing her eyes as the water hits her head

I was lucky enough to "borrow" lighting from the opposite side for the halo effect

A woman performs the ritual

Cold water hits the head

Focusing and calming the mind before the kavadi

Another woman lets the water envelope her

A boy, excited just after his bath

Little girl cries as her head is shaved

The experts deftly shave each person who sits at their booth

A young man looks around after having his head shaven

A girl sits in silence as her hair falls before her eyes

A boy looking, with head already shaven some time before
