Great crested grebe
Большая поганка (чомга)
"With orange and black head plumes spread wide, an elegant ritual of head shaking, bill-dipping and preening culminates in the famous ‘penguin dance’, when the pair rush together, paddling their feet frantically to raise upright from the water, standing chest to chest, flicking a beak-full of water weed at each other before one final shake of the head and the weed is dropped, and the deal is clinched." (from www.wildlifetrusts.org/sway-dancing-grebes)
"Чомги плывут друг к другу, перья воротника распущены, птицы трясут головами и сплываются вплотную. Затем встают в воде вертикально, в «позу пингвина», держа в клюве пучки водорослей и предлагают друг другу в качестве подарка." (Вики)
Это финальный танец, а потому его редко можно увидеть.

Inle Lake women, from Myanmar＇s Intha community, dry vibrant, handwoven clothes on racks in the lake. The racks are a practical solution for communities who live in ＂floating villages＂ perched on stilts over the shallow waters of the lake. This practical tradition is a communal affair, fostering bonds among women as they share stories while tending to laundry.

In a sumo training stable, the person responsible for holding the salt bowl is usually a junior wrestler or a low-ranking member of the stable. This duty is considered a humble and essential task. Before a sumo match, it is a tradition for wrestlers to purify themselves and the ring by tossing salt as a symbolic gesture. The person holding the salt bowl provides it to the wrestler, ensuring they have an ample supply for the ritual before they enter the ring. The salt purification ritual is a significant part of sumo culture, symbolizing the purification of the ring and the removal of evil spirits.

( Platystoma ) Mosca.
Le specie Platystoma sono piccole mosche che raggiungono una lunghezza di 4-10 millimetri. Il corpo è nero maculato con piccole macchie biancastre o giallastre, mentre gli occhi sono generalmente rossi. Hanno una proboscide piuttosto larga (da qui il nome latino Platystoma , che significa "bocca larga"). Le ali sono nerastre con macchioline chiare. Queste mosche mostrano un complesso rituale di accoppiamento.

So after the solemn little ritual in yesterday's picture, the fun begins. The groom scoops up rice in his cupped hands, and pours it over the bride's head. Then the bride does the same to the groom.
They do this three times slowly, sweetly taking turns.
THEN... it's war... they have to compete with each other to finish the rice (see it in that big tray?) by putting as much on each other's head as possible, as fast as possible. It's such fun to watch (also fun to do!).
Now, i really don't know the symbolic meaning of all this. Other than the fact that it makes the wedding more fun, and less serious. It's a very typical, common ritual in Telugu weddings. So maybe one of you could enlighten me - why IS this done?
