Marriammen Feast Madraswadi Worli 2014 -Pulling a 42 Seater Bus With Hooks in the Back


I was invited this evening at 6 pm to Madraswadi Worli to shoot the Marriammen Feast 2014 that I shoot every year thanks to my friends Shanmugham and Sundar and the hospitable Tamils of this commune off the Worli gutter and Atria Mall...

I shot this barefeet and this shot I took from the 42 seat jumbo bus and you can see the 5 people with hooks in the back including Shanmugham and Sundar .. they pull the bus from Worli Seaface to Madraswadi Worli.

It was very dark past 7  pm when the piercings inserting of the hooks in the back started at Worli Seaface .

I was very tired almost fainted once so I did not follow the procession till the Madraswadi Marriammen Temple where the hooks from the back and the rods from the mouth are removed.

I am also grateful to Shanmugham and Sundar for putting my picture on their feast banner .. photography by Firoze Shakir ,, I was deeply touched by their gesture , all these bus pulling pictures I shot on my Motorola G mobile phone ,,

I shot a video of the bus pulling than I got off the bus and bid goodbye to my friends , my health is bad because of gallbladder stones ..I have reached home showered and this is my new set on Flickr .
