The red point. Omkareshwar














Cette petite , mise à l'écart par les autres enfants, s'était trouvé une occupation qui la passionnait: récupérer un peu de cette poudre vendue près du temple pour les rituels, et dont quelques grains tombent par terre lors des manipulations.
Elle était è cepoint solitaire et absorbée dans son activité qu'elle en était touchante, s'appliquant à elle meme ce rouge utilsé pour la tika ou symbole, dans la raie des cheveux, de la femme épanouie dans son role d'épouse...

This girl, not welcomed by the other children, was fascinated by this activity;: getting back a little this powder sold near the temple for the rituals, some of which falling on the ground during the manipulations.
