Night devotion. Orchha














Turning all around the temple, stopping to apply the hands of the wall, or to lie on the ground before keeping on walking; are the commun ways used by people to pray Rama;
It's the full moon night.

Like a wayang kulit. Ujjain














Wayang kulit is the javanese puppet theater, using only silhouettes of characters, made in animals skin; They are manipulated behind a sheet, a petrol lamp lighting It.
You can see that here, more easy to understand in an image:

In reality, a woman drying her sari in the evening after a bath in the holy river; Ujjain is not very touristic, but very famous for the temples.
