This photo was taken at a temple ceremony. Temples are like people in that they have birthdays. Every 210 days, a temple celebrates its birthday. The umbrellas are symbolic of the four directions (North, South, East &West) which tie to the respective gods Bhrama, Vishnu and Shiva.
Examples are everywhere. Consider that every region will have at least three central temples, every village in a region will have at least one central temple and every family compound will have at least one temple. So you don't go more than three weeks with out the possibility of having a temple's birthday ceremony! |
