Portrait de rue (Ganesh, Paris, août 2025)
Celebrations of Ganesh, the elephant-headed Indian god, took place in the 18th arrondissement of Paris on August 31, 2025. They began at the Sri Manicka Vinayakar Alayam temple at 17, rue Pajol. Then, a procession left the temple at 10:30 a.m. and circulated through the Marx Dormoy district until 3 p.m. Around the various floats, dancers and musicians distributed blessed offerings and sweets and broke coconuts along the route, a symbol of offerings to Ganesh. The crowd was very dense throughout the route, a crowd within which this photo of a young boy was taken. Taking photos is very well received by Indians who willingly pose for the camera.
