On the way to the Temple 5

Posted by
Devi (Chennai, India) on 25 February 2020 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A busload of devotees had come to this Temple on the hill top. On one side of the hill, there was a clearance and vessels were spread out and cooking was going on . I could not take any shot, as all the vessels, vegetables, were cramped. They had brought their own huge vessels and stoves too( dangerous, these gas cylinders and stoves!!) . Some had gone off to take a shower in the fresh rooms that had been built in the Temple compound.
I found this scene very amusing...this man giving a face-shave to his friend !! Obviously there were no barber shops for miles!!
This is a zoom shot from the car..and hence the image is rather incomplete and funny !!
Well..today is Tuesday..
Happy Silly Tuesday :)))
