The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Are this in the picture the -kavadi- tools to make PECO peaceful, or why do commentators emmphasize here his peacefulness wearing this rustproof scrap iron heap. – Please pardon, that I disturb your devotion !
    Is it possible to take part on such an amazing event in Germany – thus I can learn ?
