Might paint it and have it anyway to annoy the sad people here.

 

The Mariaman Hindu Temple is not far from the Reunification Palace, in District 1. this is a rather small temple, but it is a curious sight. Inside the temple you can see several hindu deities in the surrounding walls. A big statue of Mariamman is flanked by Maduriveeran and Pechiamman at the center of the temple.

 

There used to be more Hindu temples in Saigon, but currently it remains only this one. There are not more than a hundred Tamil Hindus in Ho Chi Minh, but it is not difficult to see Vietnamese followers of this religion burning incense sticks and prostrating themselves in front of their deities.

2 sticks of incense burning, one below the other. Top stick calmed down when lower stick's smoke started tumbling. Great combo.

 

Strobist info: ISO 100, F/8.0 at 1/200th sec. 2 580 EX's - one below incense sticks @1/4 power with green gel shooting straight up, one camera right positioned higher @1/4 power shooting across. Both speedlights were gobo'ed to keep light off black seamless background.

The traditional ethnic Thai puppet show in the Baan Sinlapin Artist's House gets off the ground with the performers paying respects to the founders before the start of the show. The kneeling down and holding of three incense sticks is typical Thai prayer tradition. The players wear black clothes and a black face masks for the show and they are already dressed for the performance, barring the mask of course, which they will wear after the prayer. Thai traditional puppetry, known as hun lakhon lek in the local vernacular, is an ancient art form of the fine arts similar to Japanese buruku puppetry. Generally enacting scenes from the Hindu epic Ramayana (called Ramkein in the Thai version), the puppet shows are called Khon (masked-play). The lively performances involve singing, dancing, acting, acrobatics, and music. The singing is accomplished by an offstage chorus which also recites the narrative and dialogues. In this particular show, they used recorded music, playing out of a loudspeaker. The use of a back stage chorus (wherever there is still live music) is because the majority of actors are not able to actually sing while performing because of the Khon masks they are wear as part of the performance.

Well on a cold Tuesday morning, I was walking into town,

Had my headphones blaring, didn't notice what was around,

I crossed the road, a car swerved and nearly ran me down,

Looked in the driver's seat, I swear to God it was Doc Brown,

He said "Are you Michael J Fox?" I said "No I'm Jonny Fox",

He said "Close enough, get inside,

I'm taking you with me to see another time,

A place you could only have dreamed in your mind,

An alternative reality situated just outside of Clapham,

So strap yourself in,

Cos where we're going you don't need roads,

To get to where punk never happened"

 

We landed in a concrete desert, rubble as far as the eye could see,

I says to Doc "Where we goin'?"

Doc says he's following me,

We found the only building in the city that was left standing,

It was my local venue,

I know cos I recognised the landing,

And there's a gig on tonight! This town ain't so bad,

I got everything I need, right here in this pad,

So I pulled out a bottle and took a heroic swig,

Made myself comfortable and got ready for the gig,

 

Well an hour after doors and there was still no-one there,

The soundman was on acid, the fucking long hair,

The bands never showed cos they didn't see the point,

When all the kids are at home still smoking a joint,

They won't go out and do nothing, not on your nelly,

They're just watching the telly and then feeding their belly,

Their parents listen to The Beatles, while they listen to Nirvana,

Cos Green Day and The Pistols, well they never heard either,

 

They got long sleeve T-shirts and they never shower,

They still believe in flower power,

The hippy dream's faded but they got nothing new,

So they wear flares and slippers and burn incense sticks too,

The kids would rather skate than go out and smash the state,

While their parents sit still and meditate,

Action's at a low when people just don't care,

They zoned out to their surroundings, the anger's not there,

 

And I'm stuck in this hippy, grunge reality,

Where the buildings are crumbling down from apathy,

They grab you at school when you've just turned 13,

And show you your brand new, life long routine,

You can sleep and work, and work and sleep,

So you can save up the money to buy a new jeep,

So you can sleep and work, and work and sleep,

Then sleep. Then work. Then work. Then sleep.

 

I pulled a fanzine out my back pocket, held it in my hands,

And watched the colours slowly fade away,

The words bled right off of the pages til it had nothing left to say,

I banged on the jukebox but it was useless,

It had no good records on,

Not even something weak like 'The Best Punk Album In The World Ever Volume 1',

Outside the windows, I saw the excavators coming to tear the place down,

No-one stopped them, for there is no community left in this town,

There's no-one around to fight Margaret Thatcher,

The power of the flower just couldn't match her,

Too strong was the will of Parliament to cause damage,

That with no punk rock everything went unchallenged,

Land got knocked down to build more land,

That got knocked down again for a couple more grand,

With no punk the protests were full of throwbacks calling each other comrade,

Of course the young folks' attendance started to fade,

So it was easy for the police to move in, they were trusted,

And that's when the whole damn town got busted,

 

They moved CCTV cameras in everywhere,

But the people were too apathetic to care,

They made them carry I'd cards to state where they're from,

As if by being born they had done something wrong,

They shipped all the poor folk to live out in the edges,

So the rich folk could move in and peer over their hedges,

"But before you leave, you'd better build our homes,

There, we've done you a favour, now you're on your own,

This ain't your home no more, go find somewhere new,

I know you ain't got the money, cos it's me who employs you,

I know everything about you, what you eat, how you dress,

Your hobbies, your turn-ons, your email address,

While I had you working in the dark, you didn't realise,

That I completely stopped your ability to organise,

I didn't let you have a reason to communicate,

I banned punk rock knowing you hippies would seal your own fate,

I controlled everything you wrote, everything you created,

I distracted you with advertisements so you forgot what you hated,

I fed your dark side, kept you consuming and competing,

And like a dog that doesn't know when to stop eating,

You took it all, oh and long was it my intention,

You could have beat me if punk rock was your invention",

Instead the city will be sold to the highest bids,

If only Sham 69 had of united the kids,

 

If only the 4 Skins had told us ACAB,

If only The Ramones had let us know we were a happy family,

If only The Buzzcocks had shown us how to do it ourself,

If only Crass had shown us there are things more important than wealth,

If only The Vandals had shown us it was OK to smile,

If only The Dead Kennedys had helped us put our government on trial,

If only Rancid had played live, and brought with them that vibe,

If we had Sick Of It All and Madball we could put them all on the frontline,

 

If we had GG Allin we'd have learned it's OK to be hated,

If we'd have had The Refused then we could have innovated,

If we'd had Poison Idea then they couldn't push us over,

If we'd had Minor Threat then we could have done it sober,

If we'd have had Against Me we could have done it all unplugged,

If we'd had Operation Ivy we could have done it then fucked off,

If we had The Blitz, The Clash, Disorder, Propagandhi,

The Exploited, NOFX and anyone that's handy,

 

There's a lesson to be learned, one that I will take home,

When I return to my normal reality zone,

Punk rock has the power to change the world,

It lies in every single punk rock boy and girl,

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the fuck you want to be,

Throw your fist in the air in solidarity,

And shout "Viva la punk, just one life, anarchy"

There are many a stories of cities of Delhi; how many people came, made it their home, only to be replaced by a new bunch. Today, their remnants are most visible as monumental heritage of Delhi. And south Delhi happens to be one of the densest in terms of these remains. After all, this is where the story of urban Delhi started; this is where the first cities of Delhi came up. Even when the capital moved up north & closer to the river Yamuna, this area was never abandoned. As a result, Mehrauli sees a continuous settlement for a 1000 odd years, which is an incredible trail back to the past!

Our heritage walk in Mehrauli Archaeological Park shares some of nuggets of this rich history. The starting point of this trail is the entrance to the Park on Mehrauli Gurgaon road. We walk through a gateway into a clearing which is the site of archeological excavation about 2 years ago. A few steps ahead, Balban’s tomb stands out. Although in a ruined condition, its scale gives us some idea of how magnificent this tomb might have been. There is also a faint trace of plaster & tile decoration on one of the walls, which helps us imagine how it might have looked in the 13th century. Balban’s grave is no longer extant & the burial we see in the adjacent chamber is believed to be of his son, Khan Shaheed. Now are days, it has become a site for ritual prayers. A couple of local Muslims offer prayers here, leaving incense sticks, perfume & rose petal as offerings. Next to it is another ruined complex, where we can see foundations of rooms, with decorative niches. These niches are not deep enough for storage, so they were probably chiragdaans, for placing lamps. Some rooms have stairs, which now lead to nowhere, but originally would have been access to the upper storey. Walking on, we come to the building which gives the area its local name. This is the Jamali Kamali mosque. Built by sufi & poet Sheikh Fazullah, this is a well preserved mosque which also has Jamali Kamali tomb in the adjacent courtyard.

Later in the 19th century, this entire piece of land was purchased by a British Resident, Thomas Metcalfe. He went about re-landscaping the terrain to suit his tastes & converted it into his weekend retreat named ‘Dilkusha’. He took many a pains to work at this site: purchased a tomb & converted it into his residence; a Lodi period building was converted into a boathouse, which stood on an artificial lake, created by diverting a stream! Moreover, he went about planting follies of all shapes & sizes through his estate. Some of them still survive, like the pavilion atop a hill opp. Jamali Kamali mosque. There are two more bizarre follies by his just outside the Qutb complex: one shaped like a ziggurat & the other like spiral! They are easy to spot, if you are standing outside the ticket counter to Qutb.

After walking though the Dilkusha, we tracked our way back to the centre of the Park & then took a slight detour to the west, which led us to Rajon ki Baoli, a step well. This is a 4 tiered step well, which is named after masons. It has recently undergone extensive restoration work, but sadly some of the debris & material is still dumped around, defeating the very purpose of such initiatives. Still, the step well is an amazing site of behold, each level revealing itself as we move closer to it!

Today we went to the Thai Buddhist Temple in Kissimmee, Florida to join in the Celebration of "Wan Awk Pansa" Kannika prepared a variety of foods and gifts to give to the Monks as a normal part of this Buddhist Celebration. There is a complete series of photos of today's festivities uploaded together. I hope you take a minute and scroll through the collection and enjoy them. This was my first experience participating in this celebration and I found it to be very interesting and satisfying.

  

Wan Awk Pansa

The Meaning of Wan Awk Pansa

Wan Awk Pansa (วันออกพรรษา) means the day of leaving the rains retreat. It is a public holiday in Thailand, held on the fifteenth, or full moon day, of the eleventh lunar

 

Tuesday, 27 October, 2015.

 

Wan Awk Pansa signals the end of the Buddhist Lent period, a period when many Thai Buddhists abstain from eating meat, drinking alcohol, and smoking. This is a day when many Thai people will visit a temple, often their local temple in their birthplace, to pray and to bring offerings. In the evenings, many people will take part in a tian wian or candlelit circumambulation of the main shrine of the temple. The devotees walk three times, in a clockwise direction, around the shrine, carrying a candle, three lit incense sticks and a lotus bud.

 

Loy Krathong is held on the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar.

 

"Loi" means "to float". "Krathong" is a raft about a handspan in diameter traditionally made from a section of banana tree trunk, decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, flowers, candles, incense sticks etc. During the night of the full moon, many people will release a small raft like this on a river.

Tai Hang Fire Dragon

 

When the people of Tai Hang village miraculously stopped a plague with a fire dragon dance in the 19th century, they inadvertently launched a tradition that has since become part of China’s official intangible cultural heritage.

 

Tai Hang may no longer be a village, but its locals still recreate the fiery ancient ritual today with a whopping 300 performers, 72,000 incense sticks and a 67-metre dragon. The head of this beast alone weighs 48kg, so it’s not a creature to be taken lightly! The commemorative performance wends its way in fire, smoke and festive fury through the backstreets of Tai Hang over three moon-fuelled days. It will also snake into the Urban Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival in Victoria Park during the festival.

Chao Mae Tuptim (Goddess Tuptim Shrine)

The origins of Chao Mae Tuptim are obscure. It can only be recalled that a spirit house was built by Nai Lert for the Spirit who was believed to reside in the large Sai (Ficus) tree.

The basic offerings are fragrant wreaths of snow-white jasmine flowers, incense sticks, pink and white lotus buds. Chao Mae Tuptim has received yet another, rather less conventional kind of gift, phallic in shape, both small and large, stylized and highly realistic. Over the years they have been brought by the thousands, and today fill the area around the shrine. Confronted by the extraordinary display the shrine has automatically been concluded to be dedicated to fertility.

The color of the flame is always a beautiful combination of yellow, red, orange and sort of saffron. Incense sticks were lit up in 100s, and kept on the different steps of the staircases on the different Ghats in Varanasi. They were in offering to the Lord, or in the ritual done for a departed soul

The Shwedagon Pagoda is a 99 metres gilded pagoda and stupa located in Yangon, Burma. The pagoda lies to the west of Kandawgyi Lake, on Singuttara Hill, thus dominating the skyline of the city. It is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda for the Burmese with relics of the past four Buddhas enshrined within: the staff of Kakusandha, the water filter of Koṇāgamana, a piece of the robe of Kassapa and eight strands of hair from Gautama, the historical Buddha. Uppatasanti Pagoda is an exact replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Naypyidaw, the new capital of Burma.

 

According to legend, the Shwedagon Pagoda has existed for more than 2,600 years, making it the oldest historical pagoda in Burma and the world. According to tradition, two merchant brothers, Taphussa and Bhallika, from the land of Ramanya, met the Lord Gautama Buddha during his lifetime and received eight of the Buddha's hairs in 588 BCE. The brothers traveled back to their homeland in Burma and, with the help of the local ruler, King Okkalapa of Burma, found Singuttara Hill, where relics of other Buddhas preceding Gautama Buddha had been enshrined.

 

According to some historians and archaeologists, however, the pagoda was built by the Mon people between the 6th and 10th centuries CE.

 

There are four entrances to the Paya that lead up a flight of steps to the platform on Singuttara Hill. The eastern and southern approaches have vendors selling books, good luck charms, Buddha images, candles, gold leaf, incense sticks, prayer flags, streamers, miniature umbrellas and flowers. A pair of giant leogryphs called chinthe (mythical lions) guard the entrances and the image in the shrine at the top of the steps from the south is that of the second Buddha, Konagamana. The base or plinth of the stupa is made of bricks covered with gold plates.

 

Above the base are terraces that only monks and men can access. Next is the bell-shaped part of the stupa. Above that is the turban, then the inverted almsbowl, inverted and upright lotus petals, the banana bud, and then the crown. The crown or umbrella (hti) is tipped with 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies. Immediately before the diamond bud is a flag-shaped vane. The very top, the diamond bud is tipped with a 76 carat (15 g) diamond.

 

The gold seen on the stupa is made of genuine gold plates, covering the brick structure and attached by traditional rivets. Myanmar people all over the country, as well as monarchs in its history, have donated gold to the pagoda to maintain it. The practice continues to this day after being started in the 15th century by the Mon Queen Shin Sawbu, who gave her weight in gold.

  

An elaborate Khmer-style prang atop an ornate temple, this is a spirit house, a Thai custom that is found nearly everywhere (see also the "Erawan Shrine" later in this series). The more elaborate the better. This includes offering flower wreaths, incense sticks (in the blue & white bowl, tiny dancers (to the right), and an interior shrine (see "All Sizes" to view original size).

Placed some incense sticks behind this flower (which was taped to another incense stick that was edited out in photoshop), aimed a flash at the smoke with a straw gel and had a flash shooting thru an umbrella to light the front of the flower.

About one hundred years ago a typhoon hit tai hang and they started the tradition of a fire dance. The dragon is about 67 metres long and covered in huge, lit, incense sticks.

Strobist info: All manual, pre-focused and switched to manual. 1 sb-800 and one sb-600 subject left and right slightly back sometimes front.. Pointing up with different angles as you can guess from the pictures. One of them is blue gelled and the other one red. Same power settings for the two stobes mostly but change the location and zooms and enjoy the interesting pictures.
