Temple Car

A remote village in the Western Ghats celebrates its yearly temple car festival. Devotees drag Hindu effigies to the temple of Lord Ganesha using hooks through the skin in their backs, the locals eat, dance and celebrate. These images were shot on film in 2018 and were hand coloured to reflect the abstracted memory during 2020.
