This evening I was invited to the Marriammen Feast at Madraswadi Slums close to Atria Mall and the iconic famous Worli Gutter by my dear friend Shanmugham.. I have been shooting this event for many years now
I took a cab and reached there at 5 pm.. we sat outside Madraswadi , than I went in to pay my respects to Mother Marriammen ,she is housed in a beautiful temple ,,I shot the temple , the people and than some shots of the Worli skyline and garbage ,,the Worli gutter too.
Everyone knows me at Madraswadi and are happy that I shoot their feast every year .
The devotees all leave from Madraswadi to Worli Seaface , where the hooks are inserted in the backs ..Shanmugham and his team help people, with the hook insertions on the rocks , than another guy helps with the rod piercings on the Worli promenade ,..some guys insert needles on a woman's arms and back, cluster of limes hang from the needles ,,than there is the rod cage a man enters this cage and 110 rods are pierced in his body ,, I shot stills sparsely ,, but shot more videos on my Canon DSLR and my Lumia 640 ,
However I was not in good shape so I did not shoot Shanmugham and other 5 guys pulling a bus with hooks in their backs ,, I bought some bruns and biscuits for my grand kids from famous Crown Bakery Worli ,, took a cab back home and I was really really tired and deadbeat ,
This is my new series as part of my collections Hope And Hindutva a Message of Peace Hope Humanity ,,
