Madurai - Rameswaram passenger on the Pamban bridge - a railway bridge on the Palk Strait which connects the town of Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. The bridge refers to both the road bridge and the cantilever railway bridge, though primarily it means the latter. Opened on 24 February 1914, it was India's first sea bridge, and was the longest sea bridge in India until the opening of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in 2010. The rail bridge is for the most part, a conventional bridge resting on concrete piers, but has a double leaf bascule section midway, which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through.
Rameswaram - Ce portrait d'une indienne faisant sécher un sari, qui lui sert de serviette de bain, a été pris quelques instants avant que son mari ne se retourne et réalise ma présence ( www.flickr.com/photos/156294418@N02/51346940261/in/datepo... ). Si l'homme a un regard noir laissant penser -à tort- qu'il n'apprécie pas que je photographie son épouse, la jeune femme est particulièrement rayonnante en cette journée de pèlerinage sur la plage de Rameswaram.
Rameswaram - This portrait of an Indian woman drying a sari, which serves as her bath towel, was taken moments before her husband turned and realized my presence ( www.flickr.com/photos/156294418@N02/51346940261/in/datepo... ). If the man has a black look suggesting - wrongly - that he does not appreciate that I photograph his wife, the young woman is particularly radiant on this day of pilgrimage on the beach of Rameswaram.

Dhanushkodi is an abandoned town which was devastated by a mega cyclone in 1964. Subsequently the place remains uninhabited but for a few fishermen.
The church has lost its roof. But the walls are still standing and have bricks of coral on them. Behind the church are thatched huts where you can buy sea shells and memorabilia.

Rameswaram (Inde) - Après ce bain sacré, les pèlerins en profitent pour - moyennant quelques centaines de roupies -, demander l’aide d’un gourou, d’un mage ou d’un astrologue. Certains se revendiquent les trois à la fois. Pas la peine d’aller dans un temple, la plage sacrée fait très bien l’affaire. Les hindous ont recours à ces « saints hommes » pour prédire l’avenir et surtout pour s’attirer les bonnes grâces des dieux. Certaines familles ont même des astrologues attitrés qui les suivent tout au long de leur vie pour les aider dans leurs prises de décisions. Un bref résumé pour une pratique finalement très complexe.
Sur la photo, « l’astrologue-mage-gourou » (de dos au premier plan) vient de demander au pèlerin de bénir une pomme avec quelques gouttes d'eau de mer. Ne me demandez pourquoi ? Je n'en sais rien. Je ne suis pas devin.
Côté photo, comme vous pouvez le constater, ma présence, pourtant bien visible, ne dérange pas les dévots en pleine pratique religieuse. Cela dit, lors de mes deux derniers voyages en Inde, j’ai réalisé que si les Indiens sont toujours favorables à se faire photographier, de plus en plus de temples sont désormais interdits aux « non hindous » et aux appareils photos. Ça non plus je ne l’avais pas prévu. Chacun son boulot.
Ramaswaram (India) - After the sacred bath in sea water, pilgrims take the opportunity - for a few hundred rupees - to ask for the help of a guru, a magus or an astrologer. Some claim all three at the same time. No need to go to a temple, the sacred beach does the job very well. Hindus use these "holy men" to predict the future and especially to gain the favor of the gods. Some families even have dedicated astrologers who follow them throughout their lives to assist them in their decision-making. A brief summary for a practice that is ultimately very complex.
In the photo, the "astrologer-mage-guru" (back to foreground) has just asked the pilgrim to bless an apple with a few drops of seawater. Don't ask me why? I do not know.
On the photo side, as you can see, my presence, although clearly visible, does not disturb the devotees in full religious activity. Having said that, on my last two trips to India, I realized that while Indians are still favorable to having their picture taken, more and more temples are now off limits to "non-Hindus" and cameras.

Rameswaram (Inde) - Avec mes compagnons de voyage, nous sommes dans le quartier des pêcheurs. Ici, les touristes ne s'aventurent guère, attirés qu'ils sont par le seul temple hindou. Dommage pour eux car à quelque centaines de mètres du temple, ce quartier de pêcheurs est accueillant pour les étrangers. Les enfants se prêtent aisément aux séances photos. Un peu statiques. Alors je profite de la présence de mes amis pour tenter de faire des photos moins convenues.
Rameswaram (India) - With my traveling companions, we are in the fishermen's quarter. Here, tourists hardly venture, attracted as they are by the only Hindu temple. Too bad for them because a few hundred meters from the temple, this fishing district is welcoming to foreigners. Children easily lend themselves to photoshoots. A little static. So I take advantage of the presence of my friends to try to take less agreed photos.

In another factory, a bit further down the road,
there were also men working in the blistering sun.
While stones turn to red by the heat, he will become even more black by the sun ...
