Foundation day celebration and glimpse of Indian tradition.

India is multi cultural country and each culture showcase their own custom and tradition. Last few days, I am very fascinated by south Indian culture. I always wanted to visit the southern India, but never able to execute the plan due to various factors. Sometime it is quite hot weather in that part and some time the rain create havoc and rest I remain occupied with personal stuff. But getting a glimpse of their culture in the foundation day celebrstion increased my curiosity. I wanted to know more about their culture and the people.

We have Ayappa temple in our area which is celebrating its foundation day. It is a 5 day event their mostly covered their rituals. There is a continous praying throughout the day in the temple. Last time I shared their drumming session, and today I am sharing a glimpse of their worshipping style. From conch sound to drum to flute to their praying style. All of this covered in an hour long program. The best part which I personally like most is the litting of 5000 lamps. It was a tower of oil based lamp, that were lit in the evening. It was worth for a watch, followed by the music and worship. Everything is so traditional and yet captivating for the memory. This is the first time, I am knowing about their worship style and thought to share with you all. The 2.54 min video is enough to make you curious about the rest.

In good faith - Peace!!
