the fire, as we say in hindus, burns all the bad things or auras around us.the fire and inscence is offered to god as an offering and sacrifice...and also serves the dual purpose of douzing the evil spirits around us within itself.
There's something else i wanted to say too... hinduism is not just about its gods and goddesses
...it is about the religion of work..or karma

Muy serena y cálida la fotografía, como la ceremonia misma.
