The bonnet was my 'learning piece'. I hadn't done this type of embroidery before and the pattern seemed unclear on what to do with the ends of the thread and the edges of the fabric and if they were or how they were incorporated into the embroidery. I finished the bonnet but I undid and redid pieces of this one several times and still wasn't really happy with it.
This is Preeti putting blessings on Arnama. She's waving some of the offerings over his head, to protect him from evil.
Blessing of the foundations of a new six floor apartment building in Chiang Mai Thailand by Brahmin priest. Buddhism exists side-by-side with, and to some extent intermingles with, pre-Buddhist animism and Brahman practices. Most Thais, whether or not they profess to be Buddhists, believe in a rich supernatural world. When ill, or at other times of crisis, or to seek supernatural help, Thais may enlist the aid of a practitioner who is believed to be able to propitiate or obtain help from various spirits. Local spirits are believed to inhabit a variety of objects, and shrines to them may be found in houses, businesses in Buddhist temples, along roads, and in forests. Blessing ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and bad luck are carried out both by Buddhist monks and Brahmins.

I was given a shawl and sandlewood, which is a great honor. Here I am praying a blessing on one of the men of the city on my last night in Ramanathapuram.
