This reproduction of the nij mandir, Shrinathji’s shrine, has been designated by Kapil Sharma, a contemporary graphic artist and a descendant of the master artist, Narayan Sharma (1860-1932/33). With traditional Pushtimarg motifs such as lotus flowers and decorated cows, the shrine demonstrates how a pichvai would be shown behind Shrinathji and the manner in which it would be altered according to the seasons.
The Shrinathji image within the shrine replicates the svarup’s image from an early 20th century painting of the year-end Pavitra festival by Narayan Sharma. This animated pichvai rotates with the changing of the seasons and darshans (viewings of the day). Drawing on centuries of tradition and Pushtimarg aesthetics, yet employing a contemporary language, the shrine brings to life the seasonal variation in pichvais seen in the [Art Institute] exhibition.
I finally brought her home. Ever since I ordered her, I have regretted it. Even when the payment notice came, I delayed paying for it when I usually pay right next second. I wanted to wait for RL pics. I loved what I saw. Well, at least the doll itself. I still don't like the outfit at all but the doll is FIERCE. Now I need to hunt for the perfect outfit for her. And learn how to do updos, coz I don't like that plain long hair either.
True prayer is about honouring and offering everything to the Divine. Honouring brings devotion and it leads to surrender ~ H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

We couldn't leave Cologne without visiting the Cathedral. Beautiful light entered thourgh the huge high windows on both sides of the church, creating perfect lightning conditions for this image.
Good Friday observance in Barangay (barrio) San Pedro Cutud, in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. During this annual tradition of faith of Kapampangan Catholic Devotees people remember the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Although the modern Catholic church now discourages this act of hurting themselves, many penitents called "magdarame" carry wooden crosses, crawl on rough pavement, and slash their backs before whipping themselves to draw blood (pictured). This is done to ask for forgiveness of sins, to fulfill vows (panata), or to express gratitude for favors granted.
I love capturing honest emotions of devotion. Here I try capturing the same in this little girl's face.
