Hindu Daily Offerings

The watch looks out of place.

Yes, but can you imagine the Dalai Lama without his Rolex?
Same here ;-)

Hindu Daily Offerings by Stuck in Customs.

I was at a small temple between Agra and Delhi, and spent some time there, walking around and enjoying the sights and the people. Soon, some of these elders came along to make their daily offerings. I nodded to them with the camera, and I got a happy bobble back, so I followed them around a bit with the camera as they glided around the temple.

They look so much alike. Could they be twins or at least brothers? I wonder what's in the bucket?

Me gusta mucho como complementan y, a la vez, contrastan los tonos de los ropajes con el fondo.
