La Caldera Tennger, ubicada dentro del parque nacional Bromo Tengger Semeru, se encuentra al este de Java- Indonesia. El parque natural destaca por numerosas aspectos, como el hecho de poseer el único mar de arena volcánica de Indonesia, además del complejo volcánico surgido de la caldera del antiguo volcán Tennger, donde nuevos volcanes se han ido formando dentro de esta caldera más grande y antigua. En total hay cinco volcanes dentro la extinta caldera: el monte Bromo, derivación del nombre Brahma, el dios creador de los hindúes, el monte Batok, monte Kursi, monte Watangan y el monte Widodaren, que alberga una cueva del mismo nombre, considerada sagrada por la población local. Todos los volcanes se encuentran activos en la actualidad salvo el Monte Batok. Los cinco volcanes están rodeados por una amplia zona de arena, conocida como el Mar de Arena de Tengger, que a su vez está cercado por la escarpada pared de la caldera del antiguo volcán que los guarece, con casi diecieis kilómetros de diámetro.

Wikipedia: Prasat Mueang Tam is a Khmer Hindu Temple in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province, Thailand. It is primarily in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its primary phases of construction to the late-10th and early-11th centuries. The primary deity was Shiva, although Vishnu was also worshipped there.
Like most Hindu temples, Mueang Tam is oriented towards the east. It has a flat concentric plan, with a central sanctuary and two surrounded successively by an inner enclosure, ponds, and an outer enclosure. The ponds between the enclosures are an unusual feature of the temple, as is the central sanctuary, which is not elevated and has its towers arranged in rows of three and two. All the towers except the central one have been restored.
Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.
Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

Chhath is an ancient Hindu festival historically native to the Indian subcontinent, more specifically, the Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,West Bengal, Jharkhand, and the Nepalese provinces of Madhesh and Lumbini. Prayers during Chhath puja are dedicated to the solar deity, Surya, to show gratitude and thankfulness for bestowing the bounties of life on earth and to request that certain wishes be granted.
Chhathi Maiya, the sixth form of Devi Prakriti and Lord Surya's sister is worshipped as the Goddess of the festival. It is celebrated six days after Deepavali, on the sixth day of the lunar month of Kartika (October–November) in the Hindu calendar Vikram Samvat. The rituals are observed over four days. They include holy bathing, fasting and abstaining from drinking water (vrata), standing in water, and offering prasad (prayer offerings) and arghya to the setting and rising sun. Some devotees also perform a prostration march as they head for the river banks.

With the dried up of the river this area was deserted through desertification process and left only grazing land. Cholistan is a cradle of great Indus civilization and the Bawaria of Cholistan are representative of this civilization. Though nationalization has affected their culture. However, they are still staunch follower of their centuries old cultural traditions.
Mundana (Sanskrit: मुण्डन, lit. 'tonsure'), is the eighth of the sixteen Hindu saṃskāras (sacraments), in which a child receives their first haircut.The child's hair is shorn, frequently leaving only the śikhā or cūḍā, a tuft at the crown of the head. Traditionally , the hair from birth is associated with undesirable traits from past lives. Thus at the time of the mundana, the child is freshly shaven to signify freedom from the past and moving into the future. The rite is performed as a special ceremony in most homes, for young girls and boys. The shaven hair is offered to the Holy Ganges amidst prayers and Vedic mantras by trained priests. The family then performs special Yajna and Ganga arti.
