The North Indian UP Boy Gets Ready For Removal of Rod, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
I had moved away from the procession as my feet were swollen and hurting me like hell I shot this entire event barefeet.
I came and sat at the Kotaya Marriammen Mandir where the procession ends with the removal of the rods hooks an the chattri.
Than the people offer floral tributes to Mother Marriammen a lot of people women mostly go into a trance or possession as the Devi enters their body.
This is the first time I shot this segment normally I shoot and move away.. this year I fortified myself to shoot all this till the end and with this lot of pictures I end this series.
I had shot 1117 photos from 4 pm till 10.30 pm...
