baskets of blessings

In the Hindu culture, it is a common practice to offer flowers and other paraphernalia to a God/Deity for blessings or appeasement. A variety of flowers, coconuts and incense sticks are commonly offered by devotees.

Pictured here is a row of women selling flowers and offerings to visitors outside the Mangeshi temple in Goa. On Sundays, the road leading to the temple is abuzz with devotees, visitors, mobile shops, food stalls, flower vendors and the occasional cow.

On our trip to Goa, we decided to take the rural backroads to bypass some road construction work on the main highway. Rural areas (especially in India) offer a fantastic glimpse into the lives of the majority that make up the country. Traveling through villages gives you a profound perspective on the hardships and basic necessities of life.

While we waited at a railway crossing, we noticed this little school girl boiling eggs and taking care of a small tea shop with her mother (probably).
