La Pooja o Puja pratica fondamentale induista, nel culto di una divinità è l’adorazione, l’omaggio, l’atto di mostrare rispetto a un dio, ad uno spirito, o ad un altro aspetto del divino attraverso invocazioni, preghiere, canti e rituali.
Una parte essenziale della puja per il devoto indù sta nella connessione spirituale con il divino. Il più delle volte il contatto è facilitato attraverso un oggetto, un elemento della natura, una scultura, un dipinto o una stampa.
Durante la puja la divinità è invitata a discendere in una immagine ed è trattata come un’ospite. Questa icona non è la divinità stessa, piuttosto, si crede di essere riempito con l’energia cosmica della divinità. Si tratta di un punto focale per onorare e comunicare con il dio. Per i devoti induisti il merito artistico dell’icona è importante, ma è secondario al suo contenuto spirituale. Gli oggetti vengono creati come recipienti per l’energia spirituale che permettono al devoto di sperimentare la comunicazione diretta con le sue divinità.

Objects are created as vessels for spiritual energy that allow the devotee to experience direct communication with his deities.
He's a difficult chara for me to rp. The reason to this is because I honestly feel too dumb myself to pull out someone as intelligent as him in a convincing manner >_>;;
*ORZ*
Then (as indirect consequence to this) sometimes he spends a long time being left aside... but I still love him lots <3
Yah the charak puja series is not done yet :)
I was kinda happy with the wide angle composition of this photo ..but it was little over exposed due to the continues change of lighting condition..and reason for that was random rays through the moving clouds. So I had to work for a very long (really long) time to create the same effect I am trying to give the series.

Dusshera is celebrated in Autumn (Sept-Oct) every year in different parts of India.It signifies the victory of good over evil.
In the eastern Indian state of West Bengal we celebrate Durga Puja during this time.As per Bengali tradition,every year in Autumn(September-October) Goddess Durga comes to her parental home for 5 days accompanied by her four children - Saraswati(Goddess of Learning & Arts),Laxmi(Goddess of weath),Ganesha (the Elephant God)and Kartikeya( the Bachelor God).For 5 days her idol is placed in beautiful pavilions(pandals) and she is worshipped and treated with all the tender love and care that a married daughter receives in her parental nest.The beautiful pandals are made of bamboo,cloth,papier mache,wood,and other materials.On the last day of Vijaya Dashami the images are taken out in a procession and immersed in rivers or other water bodies.
Nowhere is this festival celebrated with as much fanfare as in Kolkata(Calcutta).All Calcuttans irrespective of their religion come together to celebrate this festival in a spirit of love and brotherhood.It is a time for new clothes,good food,meeting up with friends and relatives,romancing and of course pandal hopping to see the best idols.:-)
I thought my friends would like to see a close-up of one of these lovely idols in full splendour.Here Goddess Durga is shown slaying the evil demon Mahishashura.To the left of the shot is Lakshmi(the Goddess of Wealth) and Ganesha the Elephant God and to the right is Saraswati (the Goddess of Learning & Arts) and Kartikeya the Bachelor God.
MIGHT BE WORTH A LOOK IN LARGE
Questions come to mind of the reasons behind these ceremonies, of the necessity of these loud, colorful and intense human traditions. I keep them to myself and enjoy the moment, staying open and respectful, they will find their way and Ill find mine.
