Soodabeh from Yazd, IranBeautiful cultural series, Shuva! I always like to know about other countries' cultures specially the marriages which is the best moments in everyone's life! 22 Aug 2007 8:17am @Soodabeh: Even I like the vibrant colors, but I decided to stick to B/W for no good reasons actually. Sriram from Chennai, IndiaWow... nice moment... so convincing in BW and fittingly framed. 22 Aug 2007 8:55am Shahab from Qazvin, IranThe best shutter speed could be possible for this shot!Wonderful work! 22 Aug 2007 11:53am Hitesh Sawlani from Madrid, SpainI've never seen this in an indian wedding :) What part of the country does this custom attach to? 22 Aug 2007 12:17pm @Hitesh Sawlani: This is Andhra Pradesh and the stuff being poured is rice mixed with turmeric. I also dont know the significance of this. I asked the groom today, but he too does not know. :-) Manuela Photography from Hainburg, GermanyWonderful series Shuva! But so far this is my favorite, love the rice flow... In formal times, we (catholics/Portugal) also used to throw (nicely) rice at the bride & groom, outside the church. Now in many countries, churches do no longer allow this (for ex. Germany), due to the mess outside; further, due to hunger in some parts of the world, many brides & grooms decide against this costum as it is such a big waste (imagine how many kilos rice were thrown by so many relatives). I believe, rice is a messenger for prosperity and to be blessed with many children... which makes me think now, I have none of it... 25 Aug 2007 8:01am |
